Goodbye old friend, hello new!

Most of you have had the pleasure of visiting with Eric and I in one of our 4 temporary humble aboads. And some of those have had the pleasure of sitting on our quaint red and white country checked couches. I'm sure that you all would be disappointed to hear that throughout the past few months, it's been under some stressful conditions (as have I). The stuffing started to fall out a little but we improvised and held it together with a little chewing gum. Just Kidding....that would be way too much effort...we just threw a throw over it and pretended that it wasn't there. But that plan didn't hold up when we got a chill and pulled it down to only get a sprinkle of memory foam on the side. About a week ago, Eric was rushing around to get our meal set up on the coffee table (that's where we eat most of our meals...if we're not eating out) and dumped vinegar (for board walk fries) all over the arm of the sofa. But, we were innovative once again and sprayed it with a little skunk remover that we had left over from Bentley's little bum problem that he had about a year ago...I knew that would somehow come in handy again...I'm just glad that it wasn't for Bentley sake (knock on wood!..I mean it, knock now! That was not fun). A few day's ago, I spilled a drop of mustard on the couch and Eric kept nagging me to clean it up. Instead, we decided to try to invest a few dollars in the finest leather and try our hand at reupholstering it. But it ended up being cheaper to kidnap a cow and butcher it ourselves. So, we picked up those skills as well along the way. Eric has come a long way since he picked the ham off of his pizza on his 1st day of work! Check out our skills below and let us know what you think of the before and after. We're contemplating of quitting our jobs and doing it full time! Our next mission is to get the carpets professionally cleaned...cows put up a bigger fight than you'd think and the longhorns don't help matters! Oh, for memories sake, you can pick up the old fabric on Craig's list if you're interested for $20 a swatch! But who could put a price on memories?
