What a delightful accoutrement, don't you agree!? This stylish floor pouf was created by my cousin Lindsey, a beginning DIY'er, and I could not be more impressed!

Lindsey, her husband and two kitties had just moved into a new super chic urban loft downtown and she was in need of some additional occasional seating for their new space. She found this floor pouf from Urban Outfitters and really liked the idea of it, but it was not really the right colors and cost a bit more than she wanted to spend, so she made the ambitious decision to make her.

Lindsey looked to me for sewing advice (which will give you an idea of just how new she is to sewing---me teaching anyone about it is laughable---a classic case of the blind leading the blind). Undaunted by my lack of knowledge and full of gusto, we hit up the Foam and Fabric Outlet in downtown Asheville. This place is delightful! We found everything we needed at fantastic prices! They have a great fabric selection, too!

We headed back to the loft and Lindsey followed this tutorial from Living with Punks to create her custom pouf. Just the right color for the loft and at total cost of under $25, just the right price as well. Nice work lady!
