Settee project

This wonderful sturdy settee was my husband's before we got married. The fabric on it has been bugging me for 3 years and I finally got around to recovering it.


Usually this would have been a quick and easy job but the screws that hold the cushion on have odd square inserts and it took me about an hour to find a drill bit that would fit and remove them. It was only 4 screws but what a job! (Obviously this is an old piece of furniture as I haven't seen screw heads like that in forever!) Anyway...I finally got it taken apart only to find two layers of fabric were on it and about a million lots of staples.

Yuck!!!


I found a fabulous fabric that coordinates well with our comfy chocolate brown leather couch and yellow/cream wing chairs. 


Now look how beautiful the settee looks! Yay! 
Glad to have this project D-O-N-E!
