How do you like my $100 couch cover on my $25 couch??! I think its worth it. For starters, Andrew bought this gross couch off Craigslist and even though he said he cleaned and disinfected the best he could, he still wouldn't sit on it without a couch cover. Back at my old apartment, after Danielle left and took her white couch with her, Emily and I were left with a color scheme that didn't match the free brown couch she was given. I couldn't stand it anymore and searched high and low for a WHITE couch cover. Do you know how difficult it is to find a white couch cover?! Now I know why. White is not conducive to everyday living, especially with a dog who thinks he's welcome wherever he pleases.
The one piece of furniture I took with me was a white IKEA chair which perfectly matched my old apartment but now appeared dingy and yellow in my new home. After scrubbing and four cans of fabric paint, I produced a new(ish) gray chair! Now I've got another new(ish) gray couch! I do like the stretch fit of this version better than the tailored fit of my white cover. Same brand- surefit, which I ordered from target online. They have most of the options from the sure fit website but I ordered a few and can easily return to target in store the ones I don't like. Yay!
