I'm joining the ranks of all you DIYers

I bought a loveseat last night that closely resembles this awesome box-like chair my mother had for years (that my sister-in-law reupholstered in an off-white-pattern-on-black, and that I now have). It is missing any kind of slip cover, and the back pillows, but it's in great condition otherwise, and really where am I ever going to have another chance to get a matching (or close enough) loveseat to that amazing chair?

So I'm going for it, and I'm going to reupholster the loveseat myself. AND make pillow covers for the form pillows I bought last night XD I picked out a super-classy but not-too-classy red print on off-white that I'm going to use for the back pillows; I'm doing the seat cushions in a matching/complementary off-white (both of these fabrics will work well to hide the cat fur); and i'm doing the shell of the loveseat in blood red (which goes perfectly with the red on the print), which is going to look fan-freakin-tastic in our living room which I'm painting a light buttery yellow this Friday. SO EXCITED!

Does this make me old?

Who cares!

Its so much fun to move into a new apartment! :D
