Your sofa is lovely and if you've gotten 20 years from that material, you should be celebrating.

And bleach is a girl's best friend. I think the idea is great - I hope you can find someone soon who makes them for you. best, LindaHaven on Hanoverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11525607769541447291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-489596100395140547.post-13314878317710119782011-03-15T09:45:38.741-04:002011-03-15T09:45:38.741-04:00O dear, you just got a comment full of ideas didn&...O dear, you just got a comment full of ideas didn't you?

The cover is a Blue and Cream Toille, fits quite nicely. They have velvet ones, brocade,all types..<br /><br /> Your house is shapeing up quite nicely. Do you watch HGTV??

My neighbor sewed me some zippered covers for them, which worked so much better than I've ever managed to get slipcovers to work.

I don't dry them all the way because they can shrink.
