slipcover for sofa with loose back cushions
Comments (2)Thank you Lavern!!! :) I am so glad you posted. I read your post, watched the video, and went out and bought a two-piece slipcover at Target. It took a couple of tries to get the cover on with enough spare fabric for the back cushions, but I did it. Looks great. Hooray!...See MoreNeed color and undertone help....
Comments (16)Live Wire Oak--Ok, so the counters are tropical brown granite (and thanks for asking because that got me looking in another direction). I did see some painted creamy white cabinets that looked great with the tropic brown so I feel ok about them. We will be doing wood floors hopefully the beginning of next year. The granite will stay. Definitely want new light fixtures. I'd love a different backsplash but not sure I want to do the work of tearing this one out and putting one up (again). DH and I did that one. I guess that will depend on how much it bugs me once I do everything else. Hate the plain island and want to do something about that. You said blues/greens go well with salmon pink and I was just looking at the master bath. It has the same cabinets and we did Austere Gray, which is a light green color, and it looks fabulous with the cabinets. But I wouldn't want my family room/kitchen that color. Oh and yes, all one color for both rooms is what I'm going for. I think I'm liking the Manchester tan. It seems to tone the yellow down quite a bit. I may just go with that and do what Maria Killam suggested in the link above. (paint walls manchester tan, cabinets white down and I'll do the trim white down). That way I could work in stages and not have to do the cabinets right away but still have the color look decent with the current cabs. Here are some other pics. This was when I was looking for barstools: Family room--working on making slipcovers for the chairs so that's why they look that way. Other wall--thought about getting a large entertainment unit for that wall that is off white to look like a built in, or making some type of built in. Other option is tv over fireplace.

Comments (27)Beverly, I like the look you created. However, I just got the wall painted. It is a high ceiling so I cannot repaint myself. It is sand color (Wise Owl by Kelly Moore). I am hoping for the grey sofa, sand walls and brown floors to be the neutral colors that will not stand out. Only the blush/pink accents to pop. I did the opposite in the other room with brown floor, grey walls and brown sofa. and teal color for pop. Will light grey sofa achieve this goal better than dark grey?...See More- 14 years ago
