<\/a><\/p>\nMany moons ago I bought this love seat at a thrift store in Denver. I always thought I would reupholster it, but after I reupholstered some chairs\u2026I realized I would never have the patience to figure out how to do the tufted buttons. Sooooo I slipcovered it. I used one large tablecloth from Anthropologie<\/a> and I used the matching napkins to recover the pillows.<\/p>\n Now I do love the wood frame…but the fabric was too dingy for me to live with any longer. So now with the slipcover, it’s easy to clean.\u00a0 Honestly it really wasn\u2018t that hard either….and this is coming from the girl who can only hem a curtain. I just wrapped the tablecloth on each section and then just cut and sewed together. My biggest worry was not having enough fabric\/tablecloth. So I made sure to do the areas that show first. You can see below that I was short on fabric for the decking area\u2026so I used some leftover muslin.<\/p>\n And as for the pillows\u2026well I don\u2019t know how to sew in zippers, so I used some Velcro that I attached with fabric glue.<\/p>\n Is it perfect? No. But do I love it? Yes.<\/p>\n And all these years later I still love the shape, the size and that floral pattern. We sit on it everyday. I have moved it around the house over the years. In the living room, in the sitting room, in the bedroom\u2026but the place we have loved and used it the most is in the kitchen. Before we remodeled the kitchen I had it right IN the kitchen. It was a nice little place to sit for a cup of tea. And you know what? People often commented “I love how you have a couch in your kitchen.\u201d Who knew it would be such a conversation piece!<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
\nNow that the kitchen remodel<\/a>\u00a0is done, it rests in the dining nook\u00a0as part of the kitchen table seating. Must say\u2026works perfectly there. I often sit there while doing work, having breakfast, chatting with hubby. And oh my goodness does my daughter loves that thing. She curls up on it almost every morning before school.<\/p>\n
