Worth the Wait

Good Morning friends. It's a holiday Monday here, hence the late post. We've been soaking up some gorgeous weather this weekend and spending a lot of family time together. I am, however, finishing up a few projects that I want to share with you later this week. In the meantime, I have a small surprise (for me) update that I completed on Friday.

The last time I shared our living room with you, our arm chair was still a big honking black eye sore...

For ages now I've been on the hunt for a slipcover to replace that old black one. I'd mostly been searching on craigslist and in the As-Is bin at IKEA, but we'd had no luck. Until last week. On an impromptu trip to IKEA, I finally found the beige armchair cover in the As-Is bin for half off! I snatched it up, and home it came to complete our living room...

It's nice to finally have a lighter coloured chair in this room, and be rid of that old black slipcover that we've had since 2009... and was second hand.  It's also a nice spot to keep our pretty "HOME" pillow, from Honeymoon at Home.

I loved being able to do something to spruce up the home that wasn't even on my to-do list. It's a small thing that really does make a big difference in our living space. 

For now, I need to get back to my projects, so I'll leave you with my favourite photo of our weekend. This one is from Friday night and it puts a huge smile on my face every time that I look at it.
