A NEW SLIPCOVER......shhhhh.

In case you can't tell....I am whispering. I don't want my husband to hear.

Here's the dealio. My LR sofa had gotten pretty much trashed the last few years with my dogs. Gotta love em...but they will mess up yo stuff.

There is this one side right by the window where Zipper likes to stand...waiting for SOMEBODY to come home. Anybody.....I just want my peeps here. BUT.....while I am here let me rub up against and slobber all over this sucker.

Here is the deal.....I decided to put a sheet over it about 2 weeks ago. Like I was trying to protect it :) That was just to trick the eye.....because I had something in mind.

Before I got the dogs, I was all ready to recover it in white linen.

Yep.

Bought the fabric and everything....but for some good reason I could not pull the trigger on that one.

So I had it done in a brown linen.

Thank you Jesus.

But....I could not take it anymore so I called my slipcover guy Jim Brown.

He is the one I told you about who comes to your house and does it. Brilliant.

Here she be. At first I was thinking I would paint the legs black and have no skirt. But....I am a little old school in the fact that nothing else has a skirt in the room...so I needed the softness.

We cut off the skirt to help me visualize.

This is the same sofa I have had for 20 years.

Here is the before from that long ago.

It was all tufted madness. So I had those puppies removed [5 years ago]. Yeah...I know...tufting is BACK. But people....seriously dust and other critters will get caught in those holes.
