Armed with kitchen knives, scissors, latex gloves, and a screwdriver, hubby and I wanted to reveal our inner DIY ninjas and reupholster the new couch. We were all set to rip up fabric and break...something... but then a preliminary peek around the internet convinced us to rethink that plan. What? Tufted buttons require more fabric know-how? What? Re-upholstery requires specialized tools? You mean our butter knife won't do?
Oh well. We tossed out the original plan and found
a local vintage shop that specializes in fixing up older furniture.

Can you spot our U-Haul? |
They're going to repaint and reupholster the couch. All we need to do is choose some fabric...
