Also, we're a shoeless household. It is nice to know that we have a spare cover for cushion. But I think in the future, I would do something darker. If it were a slipcover, I would have no issue with the white as I wash our dining room chair covers all the time. <br />Best, Catherine Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17371726009244498344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804818183817823900.post-90814698319323670772014-12-05T03:48:56.556-05:002014-12-05T03:48:56.556-05:00Hi Trina,

Contemplating covering a sofa in white...........but hmmmm it cannot be slip covered given the style, has to be fitted so hence the concern. <br /><br />Love the new chair in this photo, look forward to seeing many more.<br />Lisa, LondonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804818183817823900.post-35189412430386316082014-12-04T20:07:59.557-05:002014-12-04T20:07:59.557-05:00Such an endeavor you are undertaking!
