Hi Lovelies.
Yes, I cut the arms off of our sofa.
Admittedly, we have a room we never use. Not because I want a "formal" living room, by far, it's just not the gathering spot for anyone except the dog. I read out there once in a while, but it is basically my dog's room. He likes that he can see out at the neighbors and make a quick dash for visitors at the front door. If you've read my blog before (Hi Mom), you know about the Italian Stallion Sofa we purchased soooo long ago. (Hey, I'm not embarrassed). I quickly hated what it looked like and gave it a very unprofessional reupholster job. Fast forward a few years, several kids, and one large dog later, it's still comfortable and sturdy-just need a remedy.
Here's what I finished with.
I Googled for some ideas and came up dry...as usual. So I'm sharing my tactic and crude phone pics of how it was done, just in case any of you want to cut off your sofa arms.
