Well here it is so far! It's almost finished. Our crazy lab, Sugar jumbed up on it with dirty outside paws! Luckly I had a sheet draped over it at the time. I know I'll be freaking out over all of the hard work that went into this sofa...so I'm making a slipcover for it too.
See that aqua/blue in the rug? The fabric is the exact same color! And it will be machine washable!
I still need to cover the cushions and add the double welting all around the edges.
BEFORE
This picture is after I painted the wood ivory.
(there's a good shot of the aqua/blue in the rug)...The slip will be so cute. No skirt though, just cording around the bottom where the wood starts.
I'll show both covers finished soon.
Thanks for taking a look!

Just lovely! I also have a lab (Bella)-- so I too would have been upset if our lab had jumped up on a sofa that was just covered :(...
Beautiful blog- in awwww of your talent!

It's going to be absolutely beautiful! Can't wait to see it finished. (you too, probably!)

It looks so great! You've inspired me...I'm in the middle of trying to recover my sofa...sigh. It's so much work!!!
I'd love any tips!
Oh my... that looks goooooorrrrrrrgeous!!!!!!
You're doing a great job, it's looking fantastic. A very dramatic before and after showpiece. Will look forward to seeing it all finished.
Kelly-Great job! Are you going to put scotchguard on your linen? I did that with my white sofa and am sooo glad I did. It really does repel everything and you can't tell the difference in the way the fabric feels at all! It's gorgeous! Can't wait to see the slipcover either! Hugs- Diana
You make me feel like trying to conquer the world, or at least a piece of furniture! You do such beautiful work! Please keep inspiring all of us!
I want that couch!! It is gorge =)
I can't wait to try this... Thanks
It never ceases to amaze me how different furniture can look with different fabric/paint. Wonderful job!
You're the bomb Kelly! What a beautiful job and what terrific ideas you have! Lori L.
P.S....Oh, girls and their dogs! ha!
Love the linen, it is one of my favorite fabrics to work with. What will you be using for the slipcover?
It's so pretty! I can't wait to see the cover.
I am dumbstruck! I would never have believed that out of date, worn, not very pretty sofa could be made into something so gorgous. Please, please, pretty please, tell us (and show us) how you did it.
This piece will be heavenly!! How long does it take you to do this? It would take me a a month of Sundays.
Cheers~

Love it - especially love linen. Just found you; enjoyed looking.
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! I never would have seen the vision to crete such a beautiful piece out of something that was downright ugly. You certainly have the gift of making a silk purse out of a sow's ear.
WOWWWWWWWW What a beautiful upholstry job you have done!!!
Love the painted legs.

I didn't know you uholstered too! That couch is beautiful in the linen!!! What a transformation. Love it, great job!
