Sofa Recovery Accomplished

After about 4 weeks of waiting, my old new sofa and chair are reupholstered and were delivered today:

This convertible sofa/chair set belonged to my deceased stepmother, and had been sitting in my parents’ house probably since she built the house in 1948.  There was a tag on it showing it had been reupholstered in 1957, so it obviously predated that time. The last pictures are what it looked like for the last 40 years, stored in a back room of my parents’ house. 

I would have kept the same fabric on it, but because I have long haired cats, and the fabric was a nylon loop, it just didn’t sound like a good idea.  As you can see, originally it had buttons on the seat but the upholstery shop talked me out of putting them back on, as they pop off and cause problems. They thought it was a bad idea, so I went with their advice.

Now all I have to do is redecorate the room around them.  -sigh-  Which I was planning to do anyway.
