Remember back awhile ago I was debating on whether or not to change my green sofa to some other color with a slipcover?
Here is the new and improved
RED SOFA I bought a new slipcover for the sofa. (It is an Ikea sofa so they always have new fun slipcovers for it…pretty inexpensive too).
This is the before picture with the green slipcover on it.I really really wanted to do a white slipcover but with my brown Labrador I would have to be washing it constantly…so that was out! (But I still dream of a beautiful white slipcover…… someday…) So….I decided to buy a dark denim slipcover and thought I would get lots of big white pillows to put on it. Well I got it home and hated it immediately….I took it back (which is a pain in the rear with Ikea) and exchanged it with a red corduroy slipcover and I LOVE IT! I also decided to add a black and white striped slipcover to the club chair to break it up a bit. I really did not think I would like it…I thought it would be too much red….. but I just love it and it does not show the dirt or hair from the dog. My house will definitely be ready for Christmas with all the red in the family room, and the plaid red, green and yellow in my living room and dining room.
All those colors really do make me happy.
Karins Kottage
Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!
This is really a fascinating blog, lots of stuff that I can get into. One thing I just want to say is that your Blog is so perfect!
When furnishing a small space, a sectional leaves provides you with more space. When compared with the other type of sofas, a sectional sofa is advantageous because it probably ends at three pieces.
I just brought the Ikea corner sofa home today, and I got the white. I've been a nervous wreck all day, as I have two small kids. My 19 month old smeared herself over three of the cushions already. So I am going next week to get the red corduroy. I love your pictures. I had a white couch previously, but somehow the fabric didn't show dirt as badly because it was a flowery pattern white on white. The Ikea white is very pretty but impractical. Your blog looks cute! I'll read more!
It is a warm and vibrant Red sofa! What a gorgeous room.
Happy FYR Day! :)
What a difference. The green was nice, too, but the red really added a WOW factor! Great choice. Thanks for sharing.
Great red sofa! There's nothing like the color red to liven things up! Looks great!
