We’ve been working on turning the basement into an entertainment spot. I’m working on the decorating details with D and he’s working on the wet bar by himself which is currently 90% done. We’ve been keeping track of the process so those posts will be coming soon!
My parents gave me a nice green plaid living room set when I moved into my second apartment. It’s still in excellent shape but it obviously doesn’t match our red-ivory-black contemporary theme. We’ve slipcovered the couch but the four green pillows needed their own makeover. After deciding on a pretty red suede-type fabric, I followed the instructions at Cottage Magpie. She has an excellent tutorial which is the same way I was taught to make a pillowcase in middle school!
The red color wasn’t enough for me so I had to embellish them. I put our first initial on two of the pillows, a different colored stripe of fabric on one, and a cute flower for the last one. The DIY Dish shows you a couple easy and chic ways to embellish your pillows. The pattern for the flower I used is on their site.

The great thing about these pillow covers is that they were so easy and I got them done in one evening!
