the great couch recover

back in september (on the day of the poop-scipade), Dallin and i went to buy fabric to recover our ailing couch.  this couch has been through a lot.  it first belonged to my sister Jen and then to my brother Ben. after several years of love, we received it.  it has been a wonderful couch but was in desperate need of a makeover.

we didn't get around to recovering it until november.
here is the before:

 

and here is the after:

my mom did most of the work. she is a total pro! i was not brave enough to do it on my own and she talked me through every step of the way and finished it off for me. i LOVE the new couch, it looks amazing if i do say so myself!
