Where is my sofa?
Where is my sofa, you ask? Maybe you did not ask yourself that. I just sold the sofa I slipcovered and also the chair. I currently have a sofa in the garage…along with some friends…2 dining tables, a bed, end table, chandelier, chest of drawers and a coffee table. You laugh and wonder how my husband puts up with these shenanigans. I don’t know why he does, but he does. And I am grateful.
It’s so bare and echo-y in here right now. I’m trying to clean my jute rug…and doing a little re-arranging. I’m also looking at this picture and thinking I REALLY want to paint this room gray. And I’ve been searching hi and low for shutters to cover up that big TV hole…like I did here.
The pieces in my garage are all going to be painted and/or slipcovered. I’m thinking about hosting a re-purposed furniture sale along with a friend…probably in late October. What do yall think? Would you come? Would you buy some furniture? What are you looking for?… so we can be on the look-out! I would love to meet you! And who doesn’t want to cozy up their home with some new duds before the holidays?! Oh…and we’ll have coffee too.
*Don’t forget – we’re having a Slipcover Party this Friday, Sept. 3rd! Show us your slip!
If I lived there, I would come and buy everything and drink coffee and tell you how much I love your blog! 🙂
I would come if I was near. Just wondering how you clean your jute rug. I want to get one for under the table but I fear spills and not sure about the cleaning part.
Our garage is getting packed, also. If only I could work as fast as my mind can think of ideas . . .
Terri,
i.love.you. thats it.
Anita,
i drag it outside the backdoor because it weighs a ton! then i spray the spots, where my dog alleviated herself, with water, spray with castille soap, let it soak then scrub and rinse and let it dry in the sun. i think it works.
Laurel,
…and we didn't need sleep!

I had to make my own shutters for my tv hole , they are hinged and open up for viewing , find pics at above link.

What a great idea!! I wish I could be there to hang out and drink some coffee or wine…wine would be good!
I'd love to know more about your flooring – is it hardwood? laminate? We're buying a new house that needs all new flooring, so I'm exploring my options now. 🙂 Thanks!
MJ,
it's actually peel and stick vinyl planks that i purchased from Lowe's Home Improvement. Go to search and type in “fake wood floors” and you will see the posts on them.
Mj,
only the liv.rm has the vinyl. the rest is hardwood…it just happened to match.
I agree with Terri! Wish I lived close enough to shop & visit with you. I couldn't convince my sweet hubby to get a white slipcovered sofa-we ended up with a brown leather sectional…(I need some help de-browning the room.)
Everything look so smart and beautiful in the room…I like it.
