Okay, I tend to obsess over DIY projects. I have hundreds of projects that I see, whether online, in a magazine, anywhere really, written down all over my apartment. What I love though, is when I think of some neat idea, and then I happen to come across something like it, but way better. I know, it sounds strange, but I am a visual person, so I get a lot of inspiration from pictures, and articles.
Anyway...my latest plans (or ideas that go no where) have been about creating my own furniture. Now, I don't mean by throwing some cushions on the ground and calling it a couch, such as the horrible current situation in my living room. The problem is, my boyfriend and I have had 3 different sets of couches, and ended up selling them all because I found something wrong with them. So- I was telling Charlie (the boyfriend) that I thought it would be so simple to build our own daybed/sofa type thing with a simple peice of plywood, attaching some cool, modern legs to the bottom, and using something for the top cushion. I was thinking a twin mattress (which we happen to have in storage) and making a cover for it, along with some matching pillows. I thought it sounded cool and I found this DIY daybed idea on Fancy Shmancy. http://schmancy.blogspot.com/2007/09/whatta-sleek-daybed.html
