Keep in mind that I have already had a hard time getting this to fit it into my door. It measured 38" by 38". MY DOOR WAS ONLY 34 3/4" yikes! Well I am sure my neighbors got quite a laugh, when they saw me and my 12 year old trying to shove this big ole thing through the door, for at least 30 minutes. We pushed, pulled, moaned and groaned, but it wasn't giving in. Well, not to be outdone by an object, I thought, "well I haven't done anything to this yet" so....I had a remedy for that...BIG BOY!. That is what I call my Power saw.
We cut some pieces in half pushed and squeezed and had it inside in ten minutes...YUP, I dont' play! I brought it in and cut out about an inch of the pieces I had already sawed through, and nailed them back together, so when I take it out, it will not be such a task. Whew!
It doesn't look so bad from the front and after I cover it, no one will know. Well except you and the other three people who read my blog...
Now that this lovely piece is back together it is ready for some fabric lovin'...Here are my choices......
Brown with pattern
Green with brown...
Green with pattern...
Or I can do all green as I have enough fabric for that, but I think it would be boring...although you know boring and I do not mix, so I was thinking that if I had to go green (pun intended), then I would just paint on some words, like love, joy, peace, rest, relax, smile, happy, love, etc...that would just take quite a while.
What do you think?
Stay tuned for the outcome! I hope to have it finished by the weekend. I will also show you what I did and how I did it. You know I am not an upholsterer at all! So my goal is to tack and glue/pin this thing to death, making the fabric easily removable, and interchangeable. But my guests will be "none the wiser". Stay tuned!

I like the green better than the brown, but maybe a silvery fabric would be nice too. Keep up with the good work. I liked the HGTV posting.
