What to do??
I think this might be perfect
for my ever changing mind...
for my ever changing mind...
but I'm scared...
Scared of them being a pain to wash...
scared of having to wash them to often...
I drip coffee all of the time you know...
I drip coffee all of the time you know...
scared of them looking wrinkly and messy (although comfy!)
I threw a white sheet over my current sofa...and thought "It looks like I'm about to paint"...
not exactly the look I'm going for...
I just don't know...
whats your thoughts??
Just for the record...it's dining chairs too...
I'm just hooked!

P.S. They even have slip covers...for the slip clovers...so when you get tired of the white...just buy a new color!

I know exactly what you mean!!!! I just had my sofa measured and the white twill fabric pinned on it last week. It should be in this week. I'm just going for it!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou should too!!!!! It's not like you can't take slipcovers off or have new one's made. Be brave. Embrace your love!!!!
I knew as soon as I looked at photo number one! My navy sofa and love seat are...get ready...23 years old!!! I'd SO love to buy white slipcovered furniture. Every living room I like seems to have white slipcovers. Good luck with your decision!
ReplyDeleteI have been considering doing the same thing to my couch! Like you , I tried a sheet and as you said it looked like I was about to paint. Can't wait to see what you do, it will be lovely!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of slipcovers, easy to change and wash when needed.
ReplyDeleteI too like different looks on different days so I know exactly what you are saying!
I would love white slip covers! But with 5 kids and a dog there is no way anyone could convince me its a good idea! In the mean time .. you should do it! So I can live vicariously through your blog!
ReplyDeleteI think slipcovers (The right slipcovers) are so awesome. This is such an awesome post. I would love it if you would share this post at our WIW linky party. Hope you can join us today!

Go with slipcovers that you can wash! I couldn't go with white because I know all too well what would happen. I went with a pale beige and I'm thrilled. It's light enough but not too light. Make sure you go with slipcovers that you can wash. I found some really thin Ikea bedspreads that I put on my chairs and love seat. When company comes, the covers come off. My dogs would have light furniture all messed up very quickly and so would I. I love the look of white but beige (which is neutral suits me just fine)
ReplyDeleteSharon, go for it!
