My First Blog Party - Slipcovered Sofas


Two white slipcovered sofas.  The one on the left is a dark green Norwalk sofa that has been covered in a white IKEA slip cover. The sofa on the right is the matching sofa I bought at IKEA to provide more seating space affordably.  Everyone seems to think I would not have chosen white slipcovers if:

1. I had animals
2. I had children

They are wrong.  I would still go with the white slipcovers because you can pop them in the wash. I would rather know, see and deal with dirt than pretend it isn't there with a darker sofa. I have to say, I love, love, love them.  The room is still a work in progress but I wanted to join the Slipcover Party over at Pink And Polka Dot..now only if I could learn to sew so I could make me own!

  1. I love your slipped sofas and your LR is beautiful! Who says you have to make them yourself? Ha! I wish I could afford to have someone else do it for me, it would be a lot faster...

  2. Your living room and slipcovers are beautiful. I really like the symmetry of your seating area with the bookcases, fireplace and facing sofas. I wish our living room or family room were wide enough to pull this off :( I would have guessed that your sofas were a matched pair, the slipcovers sure make them look that way. Thanks for sharing.

  6. Yes, I totally eye balled it with the Norwalk sofa and was like, "I think that's the same sofa..." The slipcover fit perfectly. I will say the feel is totally different - the Norwalk is much softer, more substantial...but it works for me!
