You'll Never Guess Where I'm Guest Posting Today

Well...if you've been reading for a little while you might guess.

I'm not so great at this suspense stuff, so I'll just go ahead and tell you.

Today, I am VERY excited to be guest posting on the Better Homes and Gardens Style Spotters blog!


Which means, the time has almost come to see my feature in print.  The feature I freaked out about HERE and gave you a recap on HERE.

I got a sneak peek last week and think I'll be free to share here on the blog next week when the October issue hits newsstands.

You can read my post at BHG HERE, where I'm sharing the story behind my sofa.


I'll be back next week with some behind-the-scenes photos I wasn't free to share before and I absolutely cannot wait to see that page in print.

Hope you have a great weekend!

    I just finished reading my BH&G and that's how I found you! I can't wait to see the behind the scenes of this project because I have the EXACT SAME leather sofa & loveseat!!! My dog has sped up the tears in the leather and I was going to throw mine out, too.....can't wait, I'm sooo excited!!! P.s. did you have the loveseat, too???

      How funny! I do have the loveseat and the corner connector piece to turn the whole thing into a sectional. We used it as sectional in our living room for a little while but it didn't fit the room that well - we first bought it when we were living in an apartment. I think we'll be moving soon and if we can use the sectional, I'll probably try to redo the pieces I have left!

    I so was hoping it would be easier than it looked because I almost attempted it when i saw your original post- the same thing happened to us with 2 couches that my twins decided to walk on and they tore the fabric but we just gave in and bought a sectional today with heavy fabric. I don't think i could have put in that time but yours look awesome! love them- yay!!

      Thanks, Kelly! It was a lot of work, but ultimately so worth it for our situation. I'm sure your new sofa is gorgeous :)

    Hello, Jennifer,
    I loved your reupholstering job on the couch in the BHG magazine. I'm on your page but don't see any instructions or a tutorial on how you did this project and would like to...Am I missing something? Thanks very much!

    Hi Veronica! I realized when doing it that it's not a tutorial kind of project because different sofas will have different steps in the process. But I shared some general tips and sources that would apply to almost any project here: http://www.thechroniclesofhome.com/2013/04/diy-sofa-reupholstery-sources-and-tips.html Hope this helps!
