The story of a CHEAPO re-do…

Enter Kid #4’s room
and a funky gold loveseat that opens up to a twin bed. 60’s no doubt.

Sorry for not giving you a better picture…but you are not missing much!
Didn’t want to reupholster or use so much fabric to slipcover
Sooo
What to do?….Paint!

Yep…kidlet even did it. And we just used exterior paint
 
cause we had it. And added some fabric medium...

One coat later. Scary.
::BOO::
We did spray the fabric down with water…and use some fine sandpaper between dry coats

Three coats later…decided to make the pillow seat out of some cotton duck that I had laying around  This is it waiting for the pillow cover…

Ta da….Cost: Nutin.
 
Had the paint…had the fabric

It is not crunchy….feels more like a heavy canvas.
Perfectly do-able.
if you don’t want to pay a penny.

And THAT is all that matters in this casa.
well, and kid # 4
