My living room is a wierd shape and currently I have only a loveseat and chair in a huge room (along with extra dining room chairs). Unfortunately when I have guests over (frequent) they either have to sit in the dining room chairs (not comfortable) or on the floor.


My aunt have me a beautiful sofa table that has been gathering dust in the basement. I wanted to get another loveseat for more seating room and rearrange the living room so I could use the sofa table.


Well today by Best friend told me I could have the loveseat sitting in her basement! Its ugly but strong and sturdy. I am going to pick it up tonight!!! Then I can start saving to buy a sofa cover and voila . . . more seating! Yay for cheap fixes!

Free is always good.
Even less expensive than a sofa cover ( the last one I bought was $100) would be to use a bedspread that you like. Just tuck it in and around and pin it with some safety pins from underneath the spread and it will look like a custom made cover.

Nice! You could make a cover--buy some fabric and look online for how to do it. It could be worth at least looking at. Or better yet, do you have a friend that has a sewing machine and knows what they are doing. You could buy the fabric, have her do the cover, and get her a bottle of wine.

Last year my boy friend's sister has a friend that was buying new furniture. The friend was going to take all the old furniture to the dump. She said wait.......and all we had to do was pick it up! It is really nice and comfortable. My bf and I were so shocked they would even consider taking it to the dump. It is a sofa, luv seat and a big chair.

I will buy new furniture one day, but........not today!

Happy for you!
