DIY coffee table.

johnny inherited his parents' old coffee table for his loft space
a few years ago and repainted it a dark espresso.
while it worked well for his chill bachelor pad,
we needed something lighter and more cheerful for our
work-in-progress apartment.
at the first sign of a sunny day last week,
we made our way to home depot for supplies for our
first shot at husband and wife refinishing.
i think it does wonders to open up our living room space!
still working on things . . . next, finding some pretty yet
not-too-feminine throw pillows or pillow covers for the couch.
i've been hunting for weeks and have yet to find anything we love for less
than $50 a pillow and no, i'm not talented enough to sew my own.
any suggestions?

I'll sew them for you. Find the material and send it to me. I just need to know what size. You can buy the stuffing in Nashville and I'll just sew the covers in NH and mail them back to you. It'll be a family thing.
