corners of my home

Today's corner is in my daughter's room. I was doing some cleaning and picking up and figured it was a good time for some 'corners' pictures. No, it is not always this neat...my experience with artists in my family is that they are extremely messy :)
The chair in this corner is an old mohair chair that someone had put out to the street. I made a slipcover from some white denim, that was only $2 a yard once at Walmart. The ottoman was a tag sale find that I also slipcovered~if it looks a bit misshapen it's because the springs really need some work...someday. My husband made the wall shelf and I made the bulletin board by covering some homosote with fabric and adding ribbon.

The iron bed was $5 at a yard sale. It was white for many years, but when we redecorated a year or two ago I painted it black to go with the new color scheme. My daughter had picked out some fabrics, at the time, right before leaving for week to visit a friend. While she was gone Mike & I completely redid her room~lots of sewing and painting~and she was happily surprised when she returned.

More pictures next week.

A quick update - now the first, main, feed (http://cuteknitting.blogspot.com/atom.xml ) is updating but the second smaller feed http://cuteknitting.blogspot.com/atom.xml?bsuser=knittingincolor is not.

Perhaps this is Peaches' way of getting revenge for having to be on a diet?
Hege let me know that my main Bloglines feed isn't updating. I contacted Bloglines and they said it hasn't updated since September 2 even though I'm updating my blog. They told me to contact Blogger. The smaller Atom feed is updating so if you subscribe to the blog make sure you subscribe the the feed with the smaller number of subscribers at http://cuteknitting.blogspot.com/atom.xml/bsuser=knittingincolor
I'll keep trying to fix this and am waiting to see if Blogger might respond to my questions. If anyone out there knows what I can do to fix this please let me know.
