Beyond excited today
The sofas have arrived back from the upholsterers
and they are fabulous
From this
To this and there’s two of them and a footstool.
All we need now is a new carpet and we will be sitting pretty. It’s hard enough getting us out of this room normally. There’s not much chance now. Winter hibernation will be a cosy one. I’ve a standard lamp to bring from Auntie Gladys and one or two bits to finish off and that’s it.
I’m hoping to find myself an old library step like this somewhere so I can get to the top of our
bookshelves more easily.
This morning I’ve started Hazel Gaynors historical novel A Memory or Violets, set in Covent Garden Flower Garden in the late 1800’s - 1900’s. My lockdown reading has been really diverse.
Hope you’re all ready for a good weekend. Up north we’ve been promised sunshine so we are off to the caravan. There’ll be a Sunday lunch in our favourite hotel in Grange Over Sands - Clare House and a visit to Ulverston at some point.
Stay safe, aware and apart.
You can have a virtual hug though

what a very nice job they did on your upholstery and the pattern/colours lend themselves to lots of colour schemes. I think it will indeed be very cosy for you.
ReplyDeleteThank you Betty. Finding a carpet is our new mission x
DeleteOh Lynn. I can see why you’re smiling today. Your upholstery looks just perfect.....very you. I love it.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend xxxx
Hugs,

Oh, Lynn, the sofas look even better than I've imagined. In fact, it's almost mind-boggling that they are the same. Great choice of fabric and a fantastic job done! Oh, and I do need some library steps myself! xxx
ReplyDeleteIt’s the third covering they’ve had and we love them. We are finding hard to decide on which carpet to choose now. Not rushing it though as we are going for an expensive one this time. We have to have something to mark our retirement heehee xx
DeleteI can well imagine you are excited! They are beautiful! They look so good!I had a similar upholstered sofa when I was young, but had to leave it behind when we moved to Italy.
ReplyDeleteYour lounge is going to be sooo cozy!
Have a lovely weekend,
Hugs,

Your new upholstery is fabulous. No wonder you are pleased. I love the little library step. I wonder if you will manage to find one like it. Roll on the autumn evenings when you can cozy up in your lounge. Kate x
ReplyDeleteYour recovered sofas are amazing, love them. Loving the library step too, very useful oiece of furniture. Wishing you a very happy and creative weekend, Angela xXx
ReplyDeleteOoo lovely!! Love the green carpet.....and that rosey cushion!!😍😍😍
ReplyDeleteYour upholsterer has done an amazing job- the sofas look wonderful. My reading has been diverse of late too and I have just ordered the Hazel Gaynor book for my kindle - it looks all right!
ReplyDeletei love your new look suite. They did a wonderful job on it. I would love a libary step. The bookshop we go to has a fold up one. I love that one as well. Take care and keep safe
ReplyDeleteWhat a transformation! I'm loving the country house vibe. A library ladder would be perfect, surely The Welder could knock you one up in his newly cleared garage? xxx
ReplyDeleteI dread to think what it would look like if he did. It’d definitely be bespoke.
DeleteIt’s a good excuse for scouring covid safe antique shops and furniture chazzers xxx
