Out with the old, In with the new

A sad couch lived in my living room. A lovely loveseat with a single size hide-away bed and large, engulfing cushions. The upholstery of this couch was the victim of neglect. Dusty, dingy fabric on an otherwise fabulous and very useful piece of furniture.




I decided to give this old girl a makeover, but I didn't want to spend too much money on materials. The solution: SCRAP. They have a huge inventory of company samples and leftover materials in all varieties of weight, color, and pattern. After digging through the wall of fabric rolls, I came across and amazing retro futurist patterned fabric. This was the one! A trip to the hardware store to purchase several thousand staples and he we goooo!!



After many hours of stripping the original material, the reupholstering process began. Many more hours of stretching and securing the new and improved material. The back and bottom cushions were replaced and re-quilted, with removable cover for easy cleaning. The final result is a contemporary, plush, practical, and resourceful new addition to our living space.
