New Old Couch

Here is a tired old couch...

I would LOVE a new set! But it is not in the budget ANYTIME soon. 

So how do you make lemonade out of lemons?

1- Take all the stuffing out of couch pillows. Great time since I haven't deep cleaned since Annie died and I have been running and then sitting on the couch = smelling my stink long after a shower. :(

2- Wash all covers. I washed the throw pillows without taking stuffing out but later realized they were damp and had more potential than I was giving them. Hence the drying pile- (it was spread all over floor)

3- Pull all filler apart and allow air to infiltrate. This is great to do while watching TV :)

4- As it is fluffed, fill pillow casings. Long and tedious process. Stick with it, it's worth it!

5- Sew back seam. I used heavy coat thread. 

6- Cut batting to cover bottom cushions. This can be a puzzle if you want to get the most out of your money.

7- Spray adhesive according to the directions. I put new batting right on top of old batting for a more full look and feel.

8. Wrestle the foam/batting back into the casing. 

9- Put couch back together and be amazed!!! 

The total love seat revival cost $16.00!!

Now I have to do the bigger  couch...another day :)

Have a great day!!!
