Where to find slipcover for high-armed sofa?
Comments (2)Did you ever find a slipcover for your chair? I have a Bauhaus sofa chair that I've been searching for a slipcover for as well....See MoreFor those of you with kids and slipcovered sofas
Comments (21)Firsthouse mp-My living room is such that the zippper won't really be a problem. My sectional is a little pricier because I am getting an additional armless chair to add to the sectional (one side will be a seat longer than polly's). I think her configuration is a couple hundred dollars less. And wait for Penney's sales! Right now (till Sunday they told me-today) it is 15% off and I'd ask about the additional 10% opening a Penney's card. The site is not showing the additional 15% off. Macy's has a very similar looking new sectional called "lucie". It is even less expensive, but at this time does not have extra slipcovers for purchase. I can't immagine they wouldn't down the road but I didn't want to take a chance. Thanks for the guide with color. I love edgecomb gray. This is the color I would have done with the natural colored slipcover, but unfortunately it doesn't look great held up to khaki-or maby it does and I'm being too matchy matchy. Although I know things can blend if the right colors are incorporated. I have a color called Camoflouge up and I didn't think I'd like it being that it has a green tone but it looks great with the hardwoods and the khaki. Hhhmm. I ordered it on Wed (was that the 16th?) and it is coming the following week on Thurs. So about one week. Thanks again for the suggestions!...See MoreSlipcovered sofas? (for beach house)
Comments (15)Almost all of my furniture is slipcovered, and I must say that the pieces of furniture that I have that are not, are the ones that give me fits. Also, my slipcovers are all quite light, and although we will be getting new furniture in the next year or so, I plan to get mostly white slipcovered furniture then, too. I have 3 little kids (soon to be 4), and they have really held up well. I think the secret is getting tough fabric that is washable. Most of my slipcovers are cotton canvas or duck, and they have held up to a lot of abuse. My kids have even colored all over the sofa a few times, and they still look really good. I don't find it to be a very big deal to take off the slipcovers. It reminds me of changing a big bed that is against the wall-- it is awkward and a bit of a struggle, but not something that would keep me from getting them. All of my furniture is from Cisco Brothers, and I have been really happy with them. My friends who have slipcovered furniture from Quatrine are happy with it, too....See Morebest slipcovered sofa that won't break the bank?
Comments (10)wow, thanks so much for all the great info! Unfortunately I have to do most of my shopping online (or drive about 3 hours one way) to look at the brands I'm looking for. Although hubby and I may take a drive in the next few weeks, I'd like to have it narrowed down at least by then. Hubby is NOT a shopper and complains about his legs hurting after only walking around for about 30 mins (funny how he can play basketball for 3 hours and not complain - ha!) I had not seen PB's performance twill fabric, but if it gets out stains that easily I'm DEFINITELY all over it! Thanks for the tip! And nmladybug, that is horrible that you spent so much for a piece of junk sectional! I'm so sad for you! I was actually considering the Pearce sofa so thanks for the advice. Do you know who the manufacturere of your sectional is? Thanks again for all the suggestions and I'll keep ya posted :)...See MoreElraes Miller
