I may have come back to look at the pictures just a few times, I love the fabric you chose. I am actually working on my very first couch right now. I have managed to get the backing fabric off...& that took about 3 hours.....in my shop.....on a day it was 97 degrees....cuss words may have been the ONLY words mustered that day. Your post has given me renewed hope & motivation. Love it :)Stacey@Rendition Roadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09503699592326414459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2987776780341574215.post-86429198906341051522012-06-26T12:10:18.842-05:002012-06-26T12:10:18.842-05:00shut the little black door! it looks AWESOME!shut the little black door! it looks AWESOME!Cassie Bustamantehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07848936864799611251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2987776780341574215.post-14795815574166266492012-05-08T13:32:29.422-05:002012-05-08T13:32:29.422-05:00You must be standing back with a huge grin on your...You must be standing back with a huge grin on your face for this accomplishment!

Lots of eclectic penny-pinching goodness which is right up my street (metaphorically speaking of course, I have been stalking you this evening but virtually only as I'm in the UK so too far to hide out down the road).<br /><br />Anyway, it's a pleasure to 'meet' you. Your sofa is all kinds of awesome. <br /><br />xxxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07542570141241919098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2987776780341574215.post-7750932915127327982012-04-29T13:52:49.237-05:002012-04-29T13:52:49.237-05:00Great job!

I love your honesty too, and applaud you for saving your sanity and sending the cushion out. The sofa looks so high end and elegant, but now looks so classy and even comfortable. I love that the fabric you chose almost dresses her down and makes her more family friendly. <br /><br />Awesome job! Thanks for the Liebster award, too! I've finally posted about it and passed it along.<br /><br />Have a great weekend!Erin (Out on a Limb)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07786393130298148548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2987776780341574215.post-78997042514421741332012-04-27T15:52:15.735-05:002012-04-27T15:52:15.735-05:00YES I have the upholstery DIY bug!!!
