Dyed Couch Slipcover

Are you brave enough to pour dye into your front load washer??  I did!

I saw this on Young House Love - her pic:

Reading the post made me think, I can do that!!  So I bought the same stuff, the iDye - I wanted to match my bedroom wall, which is a deep royal blue. The couch on the opposite wall needed color - - the before:

Yikes, I know.  But you work with what you have.  I read the online directions - highly recommend that.  There's salt involved, and be sure to soak your item in water before you chuck in into the washing machine.  I was so excited to see the finished product - - and then I pulled it out - not what I was going for :(  It had an overwhelming "denim" feel to it.  Denim was not the color of my wall!  I forgot to take a picture of the denim placed out on the couch (you can see it barely in the corner of the wall picture), but it wasn't a good look - see, they don't go:

 But I wasn't giving up.  On to round 2 - - I went with "Navy" instead of blue - - at round 1 I thought navy would be too dark, which is why I went blue - - but navy was perfect, see:

 Side note - you know how socks always get caught in that rubber gasket thing around the door opening - - um, check in there before you run a load of dye through - - just saying.....

One day I might actually do a big reveal post on my bedroom redo, but that would require finishing the said room, and I'm all about doing projects 80% of the way then moving on to the next thing......
