Design inspiration from a .25 cent thrift store magazine.

A few years back, I purchased a decorating magazine at a thrift store for .25 cents. When I got it home and perused through it, I was completely inspired by a living room sofa that was highlighted in the home of decorator Lauren Ross. I ripped out the page, took it to a custom fabric store and ordered a white slip-cover for my sofa like the one in the magazine. The slip-cover turned out quite similar, though the skirt is not quite as long. Here are some comparative pics. (Design inspiration photo vs. the real thing). I absolutely love this slip-cover. It is easy to care for. I would never give it up.

This slip-cover is so pretty.......Love love love it!

My designer slip-cover patterned after the magazine photo.

Love to switch up the pillows and pile them on.

View from the hallway!

Love the designer buttons down the back.
