Materials Needed:
- fabric
Step 1
Take the sofa to an upholsterer. (You can rip off the old fabric yourself first to save a little money.) We kept the original wood frame as is.
Step 2
Our upholsterer added a new foam back and two new 4-inch-thick down-alternative cushions, then re-covered the entire thing in a vibrant cotton fabric.
