Several months ago I bought 2 identical sofas off ebay with the intention of reupholstering them and selling them but I haven't got my act together so I need some accountability. That's where you, my lovely blog friends, come in...please get on my case if I haven't posted at least one finished sofa in a weeks time. Thanks.
I was inspired by the following images to go with a grey fabric with black piping detail. I absolutely LOVE this combination. I managed to score the grey fabric for $2/metre and as a bonus it has a thin foam backing which will add to the cushioning.

Beautiful Ange!!! It will be so classic and clean when it's done. I love the color you chose. I can't wait to see it!

Looks super Ange - just reminded dear hubby about that wing chair he says he is going to attempt LOL. Have a super weekend and keep on with that job. Mel xxx
You can't go wrong with that colour combination, it is classic and will never date.
fantastic - now stop reading this comment and get back to working on your beautiful sofa - lol :)
It looks great Ange but after a dreary winter - I'm a bit over grey!! Definitely a practical choice for a sofa though - specially in my own household. Will you be doing removable covers?
New follower very nice blog you have looking forward to coming back(:
Wonderful color combination So so chic and stylish!
Have a lovely day,
Saskia
Ange - thank you for your lovely comment - it made me realise I haven't visited you for a while!!! You are a talented lady & every time I take a look you are doing something even more creative than the last! I so wish I had an ounce of crafting skill but I don't so I'll have to stick to cooking! Warm wishes x
It is going to be fabulous, I can't wait to see the finished product....you go girl!

So exciting! You go, girl! I'm Meme from Screaming Meme...It is so nice to meet you...If you get a chance stop in and see me over @ Screaming Meme...
Wow! You did an awesome job my friend! Now just keep on going and you will be done soon.

Hi ange....I think grey with black accents would look awesome..
love the idea...
especially as NOT all of us girls can be shabby chic/pretty etc...
(boy with my home full of MEN...I would be eradicated!!)..lol..
that is why my upstairs rooms are MORE black/red/grey & masculine...
kitchen is white french chic etc etc..
soo go for it...I love it...
xx andrea...ps...my son says it has finally stopped raining up your neck of the woods??
I love piping that is contrasting, great job. I'm so impressed with anyone who can reupholster. I just discovered your blog, thanks so much for leaving my first comment! I would love for you to mention my blog, thanks for asking!
Ok I am stumped and I ask this (probably regrettably as I already do too much!), how do you upholster just one arm?...lol PS I saw the finished project..wow!
