| Slip Covers. Are they the answer? |
| Sunday, September 9, 2007 |
Let me take a moment to describe to you my home. I moved out at 17, and much of what I own was given to me as hand-me-downs. My bed is my childhood bed, mattress too (eww!), my old roommmate left behind the coach set which is beige with pink and green flowers, my china cabinet was my grandmothers and is a dark wood, and my kitchen table was my aunts and uncles which is a light oak. Madi got new bunk beds a couple of years ago, but it didn't come with dressers, so one is from my nursery when I was a baby, and the other yet another roommate left behind. The guest room is the only thing that matches, and that is because being an apartment manager when someone moves out I get first dibs on the remains :)
Yesterday I drove to Atlanta and purchased my first "Big Girl Bed!" I am so very excited! I will be returning the childhood bed to my parents (and disposing of the 27 year old matress!). Of course, this new found style has made my desire of new living room and dining room furniture. Since I paid a whopping $1750 for my bedroom suit, there are no funds available for any other furniture replacements.
As I was shopping yesterday I decided to purchase slipcovers for my couches. I bought the slightly more expensive ones with the seperate seat so they would look at little better. Are you kidding me! Ha! Not a chance in this world those things fit my couch. I had about 2 yards of extra material, and no matter how much you try, you just cannot tuck 2 yards of material!!! :) So today I will be returning them. I may give it one more shot & get the stretching all in one cover, but after that forget it, I'm saving up for a new couch!
My opinion: The verdict is still out, but it's not looking good!Labels: review |

My slipcover drives me nutty - but it is a whole lot cheaper than buying a new couch...
-
my couch is so odd shaped that they don't make slipcovers to fit it. makes me so mad. I just live with the kidlet stains.
-
So did you get the bedroom suit thats in your other post? I love that one! AND WHY DIDN'T YOU CALL ME WHEN YOU CAME TO ATL!!!???
-
Just watch those slip covers after the first wash - you will NEVER get them back on without them looking like a too tight pair of jeans or, worse, a pair of jeans tight in one spot and saggy in another. Save for a new couch or toss a throw over the old one and pretend it is the "new look". I once had slip covers that ended up as drop sheets.

It's all good. I will forgive you just this once! Can't wait to see the new bedsuit!
-
