Getting a new coat

Posted on October 16, 2012

After dropping the bomb that we sold Raybelle in yesterday’s post, I thought I would take the emotions down a notch in today’s post.

Remember the couch that I got from my granny?

Yes, the really red one that clash a bit with my red, exposed brick wall.

(read more about all the furniture that I got from my granny in this post)

Well, I just got it back yesterday from Mr. Meyer. The same magician that covered my 2 Queen Anne babies.

And I am in love. I think my gran would have liked it. She told me that I should cover it in a white-ish fabric, because it will go really well with my 2 Queen Annes And well, I listened to her. It is her couch after all. And the old lady was right.  (She also said that I might have a problem with all these white furniture one day when we have kids, and I think she might be right on that one too. But lets cross that bridge when we get there)

You know I’ve been dreaming of a white Chesterfield, like in forever. As you can see in my side bar under “I heart”. So I thought I might as well try to live that dream by putting buttons on this couch and pretend it is a Chesterfield.

I absolutely love the colour. It is quite difficult to capture the correct colour. I think this picture is the closest to reality.

Now, what do you think? Have you recovered an old ugly duckling recently?
