I became a first time homeowner more than a year ago. We were a military family for twenty years so we never really could purchase a home anywhere because we were never sure where we were going to go next. We bought a lot of second hand furniture or "if it breaks in the move, we won't be out thousands of dollars" furniture and did our best to make them our own. My husband retired from the Navy the same year that my daughter graduated high school and that is when our search began. We found our perfect home and I have about one million and forty seven projects that I've been doing to make it into the home I always wanted while we traveled around!
Until I can get my new couch, however, I wanted to refresh my living room with a new look. I'm also a cat owner and his favorite thing in the world to do is shred my couch. I've tried everything.

I found the perfect slipcover for in the interim at a great slipcover company online! The Slipcover Company has gorgeous slipcovers for all types of furniture and pillows! I spent way too long looking at other things I wanted to buy but finally settled on the Cabana Stripe Collection Sofa Slipcover in Blue. It fits in perfectly with our nautical/beach theme.
Putting a new slipcover on my insanely comfortable old couch has refreshed my living room and definitely inspired me to continue all of these projects!
So, so many projects.
How would you refresh your home?

Oooh I love this idea. With 4 dogs in the house these could be very helpful. Thanks so much for sharing this with all of us!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely. I have a shaggy little Cooper doggo whose favorite thing is to shed all over the house! You can just take the slipcovers off and throw them in the washer and *poof* brand new! Love it ;)
DeleteAlways nice to own your own space, doesn't it? :) Wish I could begin on that journey, too! Someday, someday ;) Love your little projects, and anything peppermint is good imho!
ReplyDeleteYES, I waited 20 years to have everything exactly like I wanted and it's all coming together quite nicely, the funds just need to catch up, lol! Thanks <3

ReplyDeleteWhen I want to refresh the living room, I'm looking for some inspirations online like on your blog :)
ReplyDeleteI have been thinking of getting a slip cover but I didn't want it to look drab. This print with stripes is fresh and has me reconsidering and thinking of getting one again.
ReplyDeleteI just moved into a new place and I have been slowing getting stuff in here and its finally becoming a home.
ReplyDeleteThat slipcover looks really relaxing in the eyes. It was really fun redecorating our houses.
ReplyDeleteKeeping the home as good as new is little impassible with pets around, but I like the idea of refreshing it every now and then. I like the blue and white couch.
ReplyDeleteReplacing slip covers is a fun way to redecorate and have a fresh new look for the living room. Thanks for the great ideas.
ReplyDeleteThats a great idea. Slip covers can cover up for a lot of things. Wonder what your cat thinks about it :)
ReplyDeleteI would really appreciate if this was available in my part of the world.. I am so tired of the couch gettings tained with spilled snacks and drinks... I could really use this!
