I wanted to find something that would fit in this weird corner is our room but I didn't want to crowd the room because it's pretty small. I found this little corner table and it was perfect. This is a picture I found online because I forgot to take a before picture. The desk was more beat up for sure but it was the same table.

So we are going to paint out bedroom and I have been trying to convince Chris to paint our room a color because our house is filled with a lot of neutral colors. I have given him a few options and I thought I would get some feedback. What do you think?

I am definitely doing this one!

Frame Fabric for Quick, Inexpensive Art

You've stared at the bare spot above the couch for one too many years. Until you find art you can commit to―or in place of it―try a quick, inexpensive, attractive, and changeable-with-your-mood alternative: a framed piece of fabric.

You'll need a staple gun, a stretched canvas (sold in art-supply stores), and some fabric, preferably heavy linen or cotton in a pattern without straight lines. Cut out a piece of the fabric that is four to six inches longer and wider than the frame.

Place the material pattern-side down on your work surface, and center the canvas facedown on top of it. Then staple the cloth to the back of the frame. Start by placing one staple in the center of the left side of the frame. Pull the fabric tight, then do the same on the right side. Continue stapling on opposite sides, keeping the fabric taut as you work out from the center toward the edges of the frame. Repeat on the top and bottom sides, and make neat hospital corners when you reach the edges.

I am finishing two things right now. A bright yellow filing cabinet and a pretty beat up rocking chair. We got both for free and I want to paint them white to brighten up our house a little bit. Right now we have a very ugly brown filing cabinet in our loft and I am so excited to take it out! As far as the rocking chair goes, it has bee sitting in our basement for a long time now and it has great potential, especially if we are going to have another baby one day.

Here are some before pictures and when I finish I will put up new picture. Who said you have to spend a fortune on furniture?
