When we bought our house, the lady who sold it gave us a matching set of living room furniture. She was moving into her parents home to take care of her mother and had no room for it. This was very generous of her. We received said set: a love seat and matching chairs.
They were little....very little, and sea foam green, like from the 50's! But they were still comfy and in great condition. That didn't last. Sydney has spilled every substance imaginable on this furniture in addition to drawing all over it with everything she could get her hands on. And turned it into her personal jungle gym!
The fabric has withstood some heavy duty cleaning over the past 2 years, since I've scrubbed the living daylights out of it on several occasions (red koolaid
will come out if you're more stubborn!) And the seat covers have been washed more times than I can remember. Which is why now it has come time to get a new living room set. Upon removing the covers from the dryer this last time, everything fell apart literally. I may be talented with a sewing machine, but there was no saving this old dinosaur. We even lost one side of a zipper! The size of this set is so tiny that it's prevented us from being able to find a slip-cover that will fit, and I just don't have the time to make a custom one. We'll miss the sea foam green, but I think I'm looking forward to getting "big people" furniture for a change.
