Before and After...

Slightly better, eh?  For those of you who have not heard, we purchased a set of couches yesterday (since our  furniture was about dead) from the thrift store for $40.  But of course they were frightenly ugly, so we set out looking at slip covers.  The cheapest ones they had at Target were about $60, but of course the ones I wanted were $100!  Forutnatly, I ran into Alisa Tenney while I was there, and she told me she had just seen some at Ross (I have to remember to thank her for that!).  So, off we went.  We searched up and down every isle of that store at least twice to no avail.  Finally, Daniel asked someone where they were.  The girl first told us they didn't have any, but then remembered they did.  Turns out there was about four of them hidden in the bottom shelf in the corner of the isle full of towels.  Go figure.  So we found a couple that were not only slip covers, they were a "living room in a bag", complete with slip cover, two pillows, a blanket and a remote caddy lol.  So we got one "chocolate" and one "vanilla" as Kelsi calls them.  Bests of all, they were only about $25 each =)  As you can see from the pictures, I was in such a hurry to cover up the horror that I didn't even take time to wash or iron the slip covers, so they are full of wrinkles, oh well, I'll do that later.  So, all in all we were pretty excited for our new couches and slip covers for $100!
