Whadda Mess

It's been a long time.... so I'm just going to jump in and go and pretend I never missed a beat... starting now.
My room doubles as the living room... Or else the living room doubles as my room.  I get that mixed up sometimes.
So, there's a couch. Blue plaid. And a table. Brown. And a bed. Covered in bedding and (quite often) lots of my stuff. And a few chairs. Green fabric. Some miscellaneous cupboard-y shelve-y things.  Small.  White,  cream,  brown,  ummm red. And then there's the short little divan-chick. The sort of strange,  completely ugly,  somewhat ungainly, heavy-as-lead Soviet-era sort-of-loveseat. Whoa.  Ugly. Very. Upholstered in red and black, with a red velvet cover (No,  the reds don't match-Should they?) Earlier I ditched the ice-blue polyester (shiny- All I can say is people have different tastes, I guess.) throw cover that had been trying to hide the various reds underneath.
Someone came back from the second hand store with the news that all household linens were 50% off.  Earlier, Karen had wondered out loud if a person could buy used curtains and reupholster furniture. So off I went to SecondHandLand. For $7, I got a pile of drapes,  a blanket, a sleeping bag liner, a valance, a duvet cover, some curtain lining fabric. There were even 3 tassles and some piping in that bundle. Laundered and dried and ironed (some of) it. Then started ripping seams on the main pieces. Salvaged the tassles and piping. Did some measuring and some sewing.
Not done yet but bedtime snuck up on me. The pix show this afternoon and evening's progress. 
-There's the partially done beast with the various fabric scraps and pieces. And the tassles and piping.
-There's the shot that shows the old red upholstery.
-There's the stack of pillows that get done up to match. (The furniture around this place needs pillows to be comfortable. Plus,  I like pillows. A lot. Plus,  I'm having fun.)
