Do-It-Yourself Decorating

| New Sofa Cover |
Okay, we must get back to that living room, still waiting to be redecorated! I decided the first obstacle was the futon sofa (see it here), and we started work there. First, we took apart and removed the back frame, leaving a wide bench seat. We also cut the cushion in half lengthwise (I wish I had a picture of this!) so it fit the bench. This got rid of the constant slumping and sliding that was always happening with that cushion. Then I picked out a bright upholstery print to cover the cushion with. That dirty blue plaid was the original, 10+ years old, and an eyesore! This became the color scheme for the living room—maroon red, gold, and dusty blue.

I love that print! Where did you get it?
That must have been quite a job, doesn't look anything like it used to.
We found the print at Jo Ann Fabrics in the home dec fabrics. Incidentally, we bought the last of it, and the store doesn't even sell it anymore!
