The Budget Couch Find!

This lounge…… what a beaut! I always get scared to see sofa prices and when I was tempted to click on this one I couldn’t believe it was under $500! For a new three seater lounge with its slouch style I was amazed, so here you go! The beautiful, stunning and perfectly casual cottage sofa!

For a quick cottage living room makeover, adding this solid wood Side table would add that handmade look! Make it a quick DIY by adding this distressing technique found here! An inexpensive 5 FOOT faux Olive Tree stands out in any room, this one is such a steal! Throw that beauty in this handmade clay pot then top with your favorite preserved moss!

GORGEOUS Linen curtains provide so much texture and are always an easy choice since they will always go with your decor style throughout the seasons!

Block print pillows are everywhere but I CANNOT with their prices, this handmade throw blanket has the same impact and adds a collected unique feel! It would also be so lovely as an accent quilt on your bed also, such a versatile piece.

This whole room was built on this Vintage Distressed Loloi Rug, perfect dupe for those incredible Amber Interiors rugs! When this one found my home 🙂 I actually sighed! My whole living room felt tied together, FINALLY!

Limewash Dupe DIY

While we are on the subject of the perfect Cottage Living Room Makeover, I absolutely love me some limewashed walls! It adds so much texture and I was surprised by how eeeeeasy and inexpensive it can be! This will eventually have its very own tutorial but I almost am not sure how to make one because its so simple!

My local paint shop had a bunch of extra interior paint that they gave away for free…. highly recommend you check with your local companies and get yourself some! So I started experimenting… What I learned was limewash is just basically watercolor! There are so many paint companies charging premium prices for the tints and additives for limewash, it is so intimidating and a big investment! I got the same look for FREE! Here is the recipe!

Limewash Recipe!

Here is the recipe for limewash paint….

Half Latex Paint+ Half Water= Limewash dupe

The key to getting a limewash look is the application, its all about that X pattern. You will want to paint a base color that will completly cover your wall just as you normally would. Next, you will add your accent color that is only slightly darker using the half and half recipe. Dab your rag gently in your accent color and smear in an X pattern, slowly move out and around continuously smearing in an X to blend until your rag has used all the paint. Then pick a spot about six inches away, dab small amount of paint again and go for another X. The less paint you use, the easier it will be to blend. For an entire wall, I only used two cups of my accent paint and water mixture.

It’s really that simple!
