{Slipcovers}

In an attempt to save lots of money, we are trying our best to not buy new furniture. I'm finding it a lot more satisfying to find great deals at garage sales, Craigslist and freebees from fam and friends. We have quite a few diy projects we are working on. One I have been researching is slipcovers. I found this incredibly helpful blog! Pink and Polka Dot is a slipcover queen. I found her through this blog post from The Nester. Another super cute blog!



These look so fresh and clean and shabby chic! I LOVE white, but I'm also considering buying my cotton duck in a muted yellow.

I'm seriously thinking about purchasing the Ebook for $10. Lazy Girl's Guide to Making a Slipcover:) I like the name alone!


There are so many helpful hints on Pink and Polka Dot. Pictures, comments, etc. I am inspired!

Here is an easy tutorial for covering a chair.

I'm super excited to start my own!
