Would I Really Go To All That Trouble? Maybe

Living in campus housing the last four years, I have used a futon as my couch. Granted, it is a nicer style futon with a solid wood frame and a super deluxe mattress. However, it is still a futon. While it is nice and sturdy and there is nothing wrong with it...do I really want it in my new fancy home? Not really. Alan and I have decided to turn the dining room into the t.v. room, and the living room will be our entertainment room. We love having people over and listening to music and hanging out, so the living room will be where that happens. No television for distractions. So do I want the ol' futon in there? Not really.

My mom has offered us her couch, which is only a couple years old. It's beautiful, soft, and oh so comfy. Totally not my style, though. So do I want to go to the trouble of reupholstering an entire couch? I'm okay with small chairs and pillows and the like...but a whole couch? I wasn't really feeling up to the challenge until I found these pieces. It would take me forever to find enough different pieces of rocking fabric to put together like these, but I may just take the challenge. I. Am. Obsessed.
