    I would LOVE to do something like that. I have a loveseat that my grandfather bought 3 months before he passed away. It’s in perfect condition (Papa didn’t buy cheap stuff), and I love the shape of it, but the pattern is just hideous.

    My best friend recovered an antique rocking chair of my great-grandmother’s while taking an upholstery class at the local community college. How cool is that!

    See, I need my friends to take better classes!
