Num Num Num Num Num- I am so in love with the idea of free goodies!  How did I never notice the FREE section of Craigslist before we moved?  I’ve been trolling Craigslist for the past couple of weeks looking for stuff to fill in the blanks spots in the house, especially since we’re about to receive our first house guests.  The result of my efforts is this awesome retro sofa that just happens to fit our decor to a T (a “tee”?).  We attempted to fit the whole thing in the back of our mighty Versa, but alas, we had to return this morning with tools to take it apart.  Our efforts were well rewarded!  Check out the before and after:

Before- fabulous original plaid cushions didn’t quite make the cut.

After- Some heavenly green satin twill, a couple of fabulous pillows, an adorable Petina, and some odds and ends and voila!  It fits our Harry Potter/ Botanical/ Library theme perfectly!

I think Petina was almost more happy to have a sofa than I was!  She jumped up the second I was finished with the cover and with a great big sigh, she snuggled down like she hadn’t snuggled in months.  Thanks Craigslist, and thanks Amy!
