Two weeks is what I was given as the turn around time and it shall be done. Yall I am so happy and so excited about this. I just smile from ear to ear thinking about it. My Granny slept on this very sofa for a short time, and on my dark days, I would lay in her place and think of her. So many memories. That's why I could never let it go. Someone gave me an idea to save some of the fabric from the original and frame it. THAT I WILL DO!
Here is the fabric! Can you believe they only had 2 colors in linen out of a gajillion fabrics. A white and mine. I was threading my nails in hope that the linen they had was the linen I wanted, and indeed it was..Damn I was happy. Until the girl tried to give me a 20% discount rather than the 30% that the manager promised. They tried to tell me they never offered 30% off ever.."UHHH get the manager on the phone"...I said. I was paying at that moment and I wanted no issues with the cost. And I got my 30% off. DON'T PLAY WITH ME! (LOL)
So here are the issues:
1.) Should I stain the wood? Below are the options, plus CHOCOLATE.
1.) Should I stain the wood? Below are the options, plus CHOCOLATE.
But remember what things I am putting in there. Should I not be concerned with wood color differences in the room regarding the sofa, future chairs, and accessories?
2.) Should I remove the tuffs and just let it be redone smooth?
They are replacing the cushions throughout the whole sofa, but if I wanted the tuffs, they would do them for free. But do the tuffs go with the linen look? I was thinking if I did it in velvet the tuffs would look great. I don't know. Comments please? Pretty please.
I decided to not keep the nail heads.
So pretty soon I will be saying bye bye to J Crew and Hello sofa...
