Quick & Easy Way to Refresh a Loveseat

June 22, 2022 by Kimberly Snyder 4 Comments

Spread the love

Do you need a quick way to refresh a loveseat or couch? I have a solution! It is so quick, I am almost embarrassed to share it!

Are you searching for  a quick way to refresh a loveseat or sofa?  Sometimes, ready made slipcovers are too expensive or aren’t readily available.

Let me share my simple solution!  Look no further than your linen closet!

Before:

love seat hide a bed

One of the pieces of furniture that my Great Aunt left in the house was a love seat with a hide-a-bed.  It was upholstered in a tweedy fabric.  Well not exactly tweed but tweed-like, if you will.  We wanted to keep the loveseat since it had the hide-a-bed feature.  I really wasn’t keen on the fabric design and couldn’t find the kind of slipcover I wanted in the size I needed for the price I was willing to pay.

Not wanting to admit defeat, I decided to grab one of the plain white full size sheets that were also left behind.  and voila!  a “new” loveseat!

The love seat is currently in my office.  I added these pretty throw pillows to finish off my look!

I love the green basket on the end table next to the love seat.  The color and the patina of the basket is simply amazing!

Certain colors just speak to me!  Celadon green is one of them.  If you are interested, you can find out more about my love of celadon green here:

See why I was almost embarrassed to share this idea?  Using a sheet is a quick and inexpensive way to solve the problem of how to refresh your loveseat or sofa!

I have a few other no sew solutions!

A painter’s drop cloth can also be used as a makeshift slipcover!

Large pieces of twill fabric can be used to quickly update a piece of furniture.  I used a piece of khaki colored fabric to refresh a wing back chair.  The details can be found here: Quick Way to Refresh a Wing Back Chair

I don’t talk about my faith a lot. I do believe I don’t talk about my faith a lot.  I do believe God puts certain people in your path for a reason.  An example of this occurred on Tuesday.  It was colonoscopy/sigmoidoscopy day.  I was really nervous about how it would all work since it was my first time since I had my cancer surgery. 

 The nurse that was taking care of me in the pre op area turned out to be the same nurse who had prayed for me last year. My husband was in the parking lot of the medical center speaking with his friend who happened to work at the center with this particular nurse. I was very sick at the time and they prayed for my healing.  It was great to be able to thank her in person and let her see that the prayers had been answered. ❤️

Then the anesthesiologist came in and told me about his cousin who had also been diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer about a year ago. He mentioned some of the treatments his cousin had had and how important a positive attitude is.  I was touched that he took the time to tell me about his cousin’s experience. 

 We had arranged in advance to have my husband’s friend as the nurse anesthesist.  He was able to pray with us as well as reassure us about the procedure.

The procedure went well. The three polyps that the surgeon removed were sent to pathology.  The report is already back and there no evidence of cancer.  Prayers were answered again❤️
