BEFORE
This little couch I found at a yard sale in Vegas. It was solid and had so much potential! So it came home with me. I didn't start it for a while because I was scared. This was my first attempt at reupholstering something "big". Taking the material off was much harder than I thought! And removing staples, OH MY HECK!!!
Lesson#1 When removing the old material take pictures along the way, it will really help you figure out how to put the new stuff on!
Lesson #2 Again when removing the old material try to keep it in its original shape. You will NEED this as a pattern.
I learned both these lessons the hard way. I basically reupholstered the couch from scratch! I got a little excited removing the material and I didn't care about cutting and tearing it. I regretted that in the end!

Here she is! What do you think?
Cute ribbon detail on the back.
