You can use a sweater shaver to remove pilling from upholstery to make your couches look new again!
We had the hardest time furniture buying. We bought our couch when we still lived in an apartment, not knowing what our future living room would look like. I’d always wanted a sectional and we looked high and low for the perfect one. It was a 3 little bears scenario: one was too big, one was too small, one didn’t come in the right color, etc. We finally settled on an symmetrical corner couch that had cream colored fabric. The size has worked perfectly since the living room in our house is a bit small, but it hasn’t held up well in the 4 years we’ve had it. We aren’t ready to buy a new one, so I had to see what I could do to make this one look nicer!

When we bought our house this spring we found a potted plant abandoned in the backyard. It had overgrown its container months ago and several of the leaves at the bottom were dead. Oh, and did I mention it attacked you anytime you got near it? The thing had razor sharp points on it and was impossible to move. So for months it sat there. Somehow, even without any love, it lived (the plant that lived – where are my HP fans?). I decided to repot it and give it a new life. It reminded me of a pineapple top so I searched for a yellow pot to make it a new home. Would you know it – I couldn’t find a bright yellow pot anywhere! On a trip to Lowe’s I came across some pots in the clearance section and snagged a large pot for less than $10! With a can a spray paint I made my own yellow pot. I had to call in reinforcements to get the thing moved to the new pot and had to wrap it in a towel to avoid losing an eye, but we did it! We gave an abandoned plant new life with a pineapple pot. It’s an easy DIY you can do yourself with a large or small plant.
