Naughty girl for peeking :rotfl:
I think I'd prefer a fixed bench cushion, the seperate ones are looking a little worse for wear anyway. And I'll probably replace the chair cushion too with a fixed one.
Very close xxvickixx! I got them for for a grand total of £41
I was winning them at £10.50 with 30 seconds to go, then there was a last minute bidder, doh.
I need to decide what fabric and paint colour to use now. Any suggestions?0 -
:Twhat a bargain
i would definately have a bench cushion style on it
where is it going to be going?
this has potential to look great in any number of places0 -
Wow, well done, I really can't wait to see how lovely it looks when you've worked the magic!0

Glad to hear you'd go for a bench cushion too, now I just have to work out the best way to get one to fit. I'm thinking of taking the measurements to a local foam shop plus photos and hoping they'll know what to do! :rotfl:
I think it will be going in the living room of the new house, but OH has a big corner sofa that was supposed to go in there so I think I may have to do a bit of convincing first

Well done Bibb I love the sofa and chair. What a bargain. I love the colour green - well actually my fave colour is pink! But I think dark green would suit the style. Cant wait to see the updated photos!Good luck with the move by the way. x0
