You might remember I picked up this, rather my husband, picked up this mid century floating sofa last year. We loved the look but really hated the 80's-ish covers of denim blue with yellow piping. Eck!
Well, it took a loooooong time to get around to it, but I finally dragged myself Los Angeles' fabric district and purchased a soft turquoise blue knubby upholstery. I found someone on Craigslist who recovered it for $60. I purchased foam to make a back rest in lieu of all pillows. I made the small Ikat throw pillows with fabric I purchased downtown as well. (I should do a whole post on the fabrics I saw! Wowza! I was in fabric heaven.)

Anyway, what do you think?

I'm still debating whether or not I should keep the foam backrest or make 2 more throw pillows for the back, like the original. Your opinion?
