staples, staples, and more staples

We are remodeling our family room. The color that I painted the walls clashed with the couch so I decide to reupholster it. I was originally just going to slip cover it but as I got working on it I wanted the cushions to be different and the arms to be less fluffy etc. . . so I ended up just upholstering instead. I got the canvas fabric for only $10 it was on sale. It was quite the process I must have taken out a few hundred staples from the old couch. In the end it was easier then I thought, I really just took the whole couch apart and put it back together with new fabric. I learned a lot and next time I attempt to reupholster (I want to do my rocking chair next) it will be better. Now for the first time in my married life I have matching couches (our other one is chocolate brown). Now we just need to put up some trim and the family room will be done. Yeah!
