The before couch that I've had for a few years and the pictured cat has destroyed. It's comfy and it pulls out into a full sleeper, which my dad really loves to sleep on. Weird I know. Anyway I really wanted something that looked more adult than college student and decided, Why not try to re-cover it myself? So I hailed Jenny for a cut of yellow twill and started on it! Here's what it looks like now:
Doesn't it look like a brand new Ikea couch?! And I really like the way it looks in our new grey living room.I'm totally in love with it! I mean sure there are some mistakes and it's not perfect, but no one really notices them anyway. Also I only spent $43! CAN YOU FUCKING BELIEVE THAT! I am just thankful that it turned out so nicely, it was certainly an adventure!
WHOA!
