Priceless

Money spent on couches purchased 10 years ago, that I disliked within minutes of delivery...$1200.00...

Price of fabric given to me by a friend...$0.00...

Cost of materials to complete the project...$10.00...

Liking my couches again...priceless!

I was given this fabric, which was actually two curtains which used to hang in the Ogden Temple. There were some dirt stains on one of them that I had to work around, but it was totally worth it to have such pretty fabric and add some life to couches that I have really come to hate! It took two days of a total disaster in my living room, but JT was out of town and I was able to surprise him with "new" furniture when he got home...and he LOVED them! :)

They look fantastic, and two days is amazing! I think that you have used summer break so fantastically. I wish I could say the same. There's still 3 weeks :)

They look great! Good job. I think it is one of the most satisfying things to turn something you hate into something you love.
