About 9 years ago John and I found a decent couch at a near by thrift store. It was light-blue and cream striped. We borrowed a friends truck and toted it home. Shortly after Bouncing Boy turned two I decided the couch had seen better days and decided to recover it. I found a great brown with light colored polka dots. I painted the wall a lovely color of blue and was very happy with the brown couch. Our current house does not have a lovely blue wall. This winter everything got a little too brown for my liking and I decided we needed a little color in our home...or a lot of color. Today I finally finished the new cover! Our thrifty couch gets another make-over and lives to see another year.

| Couch tester approved! |
And now I'm off to make new pillows...and perhaps think about changing the art on the wall...
I really, really like this. I wish I could be so brave and cover my couch in bright green dandelions ... I'm working toward it :)
