Came across this fantastic make over while perusing the virtual world. Lauren, author and owner of Observations of an Occasional Artist as well as the room pictured, picked herself up a cowhide rug and realized that her new find didn't fit in with the rest of her room... So she changed it.
Before...
And after:
She replaced the lampshade and cushion covers and voila! A whole new room, a make-over priced at $26 total! I think the first picture's a tad dark as I don't believe she changed the slipcovers but she does write:
Did I ever mention the slipcovers for my sofa? They're from Bemz, a Swedish company that sells a huge variety of covers made to fit your IKEA furniture. So instead of black, white, or black & white floral, which were my IKEA choices, I now have Aubergine. Bemz is awesome.
Thanks Lauren. We think you're pretty awesome too!
What a snazzy makeover!

If I am home ant not working I always do the general cleaning of the house so that I won't get bored.

The makeover given to the room is quite nice actually. Given the before and after pictures I'd say that they have done a marvelous job.

The room still looks good on both the before and after photos.
