DIY: Turn a Regular Couch Ottoman into Storage Ottoman

What You Need:

• Carpenters Wood Glue
• Small set of Hinges
• Wood (ours is particle wood I think)
• Knife
• Fabric (not necessary if you don't mind the inside)
• Staple Gun

First Cut the top Cushion off the base close to the seam

Then glue both the cushion and wood together

Press down firmly for few minutes (I had a little help from him :) ) then let dry over night

Attach the hinges to each side 

Cut the fabric and staple it in the interior tight around the edges and bottom (picture is only edges) (I also added a board leftover for extra support)

I also added a hand just fabric looped and stapled to the wood so when I lifted it every time, the glue wouldn't be strained.

DIY: Mason Jar Soap Dispenser

DIY: Couch Detail Shop!

MICROFIBER COUCH CLEANING!

                     Before & After

What You Need:

• Isopropyl Rubbing Alcohol (I used 91%)
• A sponge (Be sure to use a white or tan so there is no color transfer, also I went through about 2)
• A scrub brush
• An empty spray bottle
• A MASK (not necessary, BUT I did NOT use one, and had a VERY large headache when finished!)

Make sure your couch is microfiber, there should be a tag on it somewhere, if not try a small spot first!

Pour the Rubbing Alcohol into the spray bottle, Spray each section completely saturating it, and scrub, the rubbing alcohol will evaporate faster than water therefore... no watermarks left behind! I also found that ALL the dog hair was scrubbed away and it looked so much better. After it dried all the way (about 20 min) there was no smell left on the couch! (open doors and windows while cleaning and about 15 minutes after and the smell will evaporate from your house!)

DIY: Wall Decor Scrapbook Paper & Canvas

What You Need:

• Scrapbook Paper (9 papers if you want this big, 4 for smaller wall)
• 12x12 Canvas (cheaper at Michaels, than Hobby Lobby)
• Modge Podge (I used Scotch Super 77 Multi Purpose Adhesive Spray)

I would recommend figuring up your pattern by taping it to the wall first, taking a picture, then gluing to canvas, and hanging! I hung mine 2 inches apart.
