i am moderately obsessed with black and white stripes. and i use the word moderately here as an understatement - i am RIDICULOUSLY obsessed would be more accurate - check my pinterest - PROVED IT! anyway, the wierd thing is that black and white striped fabric isn't always easy to find (and by easy to find i mean readily accessible at normal around town places like JoAnns...not real fabric stores or online - that is probably EASY to find...whatever). SO i finally scouted some down at IKEA - but i'm lazy - and a smidge busy - so i hadn't made it down to Costa Mesa when the dreaded "not in stock" icon appeared. TRAGEDY. if only i would have got my MOVE ON! so i kissed it goodbye. HOWEVER, the other day I was online and it was available again, so i planned an immediate trip. for the next day. i got momentarily distracted by the awesome grey rug available for a measly $19.99 (thank you for THAT price IKEA!) but eventually made my way to the fabric area where I spied my prize. what I didn't realize was that the scrap I spied was LITERALLY the only smidgen of fabric that remained in the store.
so, in typical {out of control} shell fashion, i hunted down a guy who took that scrap of gorgeous black and white striped fabric down for me, folded it up, and handed me a ticket priced at $2.99 for the yard. i was ONE happy camper (even though i wasn't camping!) NOW...i need YOUR help...i need some awesome structural chair or fun bench to recover with my 1 yard of fabric...something timeless so it can live in my house FOREVER! come ON thrifty friends (Amber) hook a sister up...oh and if you could throw a fresh coat of black spray paint on it too...i would SO appreciate it!

I've been wanting to comment but blogger has been down for days! So keep your eyes peeled for a bench... I think the BW stripes would be perfect for a little extra seating in your room. :)
