My living room has been pretty much the same since we moved into the place. That was darn near ten years ago now. The couches are even older than that -- a purchase I made after graduating college (you don't need to know how long ago that was, though). And since bringing home our two bundles of joy from the hospital three and four years ago, those couches have seen their fair share of spills, spit-up, you name it. We know we are in for more colorful stains appearing on our furniture for a few more years, so we've elected to wait for a new furniture purchase until the kids are a bit older...and less sloppy. So, a good way to transform a room from drab to fab, on a tight budget, and in no time at all...opt for slipcovers. I would suggest searching the internet for something that you'd like to try. You can find more of a variety, better prices (larger clearance items available), and colors (dark if your home contains toddlers, or other messy dwellers). I would suggest walmart.com, target.com, kohls.com, or any other store that is within driving distance for ease of return. Most of these stores have a "ship to store" option so the shipping is FREE! So, you can return it if the color isn't what it looked like on line, or doesn't fit like you'd want. Please feel free to contact me via a comment or our FB link, if you have questions regarding sizes to order, or whatever. Also, please check www.retailmenot.com for additional promotional codes you could use to save even more when you order. For your viewing pleasure, here are pictures of my "old" and "new" living room...
