I think i might be a little loopy

After my last post I realized that I had already posted the Valentine pics of Em. Ooooops! My bad! So I thought a new post was in order. I have a coffee table that I despise and living here in Minnesota it's way to cold to take it outside to paint at the moment. I was flat out tired of looking at it and it was a major eyesore. Having 3 kids it's gone through some abuse. As I was surfing the Internet highway the other night I came across Dear Lily. There she had a wonderful post about how she covered her ottoman. I knew that I could do it too so I hit Walmart the next day and found some of my favorite fabric to cover that dreadful coffee table. Today I spent about 2 hours on it start to finish and LOVE how it turned out. The only thing I didn't do that she did was hot glue the trim on. That was sewn on with the skirt to ensure when I put it in the wash it won't come out a mess. Been there, done that. When the hubby came in he was like "oh, where did you get that"? With a great big smile, I said " I made it"! He thinks that it looks great, and I couldn't agree more. So, if you have a crappy coffee table or an ottoman, this is an easy project to do. I highly recommend it!
