Ikea Ottoman Redo
I love IKEA sofas and chairs. This ottoman was purchased for about $150 and I recovered it with a classic ticking fabric. The top is removable for storage so it made recovering it so easy. I mostly used my stapler, adhering the fabric to the top portion. I then stitched some piping and then also stapled it to the top portion.
The skirt was made on a sewing machine and also stapled onto the edges.

Frame TV - diy frame
The Samsung Frame Tv is an amazing invention and I love our 43 inch set. It fits snug against the wall and allows display of beautiful artwork and a matte screen with no glare makes the art look like the real thing.
The frames for these are very expensive but I knew I wanted one for a finished look. Instead of purchasing one made for the tv, I measured and ordered a Plein Air Crown Gold Leaf Frame Outside 42 1/8" x 26 1/8 " Opening 37"x 21" and adhered to the tv with velcro.
I used a total of 12 strips. 3 on each side.
