    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 :D 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?

    :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 places

    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 :o

    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. x
