Tina, that sofa is gorgeous. Please show us more pictures of your wonderful cottage. You are such an inspiration. Thank you so much for sharing.

Holy cow! You are one ambitious lady! Love it!

Tina I love it and it goes with your red
check chair very well. Tell Rebekah I said I am totally proud of her and tell her I said hi. I miss seeing her. Just why wasn't Miss Marlee sitting in the middle of that sofa? Good job, all of you and that's including Monica. Her two cents and your
two cents has always been awesome!

[Patty]

That is so beautiful, I love the colors you chose (red is awesome!) And thank you so much for sharing your fabric source - I had despaired of finding the large red buffalo check ...

Love it! Hard to find someone to upholster anymore!!! I have a platform rocker and matching loveseat that was my mom's sitting in the garage - it needs a re-do!

That looks very much like the sofa my sister got from my grandmother's house. It is made of horse hair stuffing. My sister had her's recovered in some vintage fabric and it sits with honor in her living room. My grandmother would be so proud.
Your sofa is just beautiful. I am not a huge fan of red, but that is just beautiful. Thanks for the pictures.
