I have two slip covers for my Taylor Scott sofa, and both of them I am so very tired of them, wishing I had a solid hemp grain sack one or a white linen one, staying away from the trendy canvas. I love the mattlessa one on it now, but I would like a simpilar more old-world look of clean lines no welting like ones of European cottage history with an authentic feel to an age old French cottage.<br /><br />It will be wonderful to see the beauty this floral print takes on when it is slipped. As for my sofa, I would have to have it custom made through the company and the slips cost more then the pricey sofa yikes, so I though I would slowly take apart the one I dislike most being a canvas raised paisley pattern all in winter white, my more Tuscan faze I went through and try my hand at making a slip for my sofa, or higher it out to a local tailor who makes slips and still have a price that's hard to choke down but a savings.<br /><br />It's great that you are able to have all this trading for free, and a vision of what you love.<br /><br />Xx<br />Dore Burlap Luxehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16134718817693134037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3145927977814106970.post-16430869578508529732015-06-25T11:46:02.292-05:002015-06-25T11:46:02.292-05:00So glad you're going with what your heart is t...So glad you're going with what your heart is telling you and you have a wonderful enabler in your loving hubby. One note...didn't you mention your fur baby had stopped getting on the sofa when it was leather...maybe the habit has been broken and you won't be laundering your new slip cover as much. Love the new color...very subtle. We are going with shades of grey on our walls also...but more bold. I love how the natural textures, blacks and creams pop against it.
