New Wrappings

I'm constantly changing and re-inventing the way my home looks. I change the linens, put up new curtains, move the furniture etc. I really enjoy having projects to work on around the house, and recently finished two new ones. I just made this window-seat cushion and cover for my new apartment from the red bedspread from my last apartment:

The crimson window seat clashed with the bright pink in the print of my chair (Mom always said never put red and pink together and I stand by it) so I decided to re-cover the chair. With a few staples from my canvas-stretching staple gun I attached this old sheet from Urban Outfitters, and I covered the cushion with a light blue pillow cover. Allowing for the fact that the chair's most frequent inhabitant is Ms. Lorelai Meow, I topped the "human" cushion with a soft turquoise cushion, easy to remove when a human wants to sit down without getting covered in cat fur.
