Some of you may have noticed that the blue couch has had a makeover. Bought in Tasmania many years ago, the couch seemed a good idea because we could just wipe it down - we hadn't counted on Purdey, our cat, using the leather as a sharpening tool. About 20 years and quite a few pets on, the couch was looking tired. I'd thought it would look good in a tigerskin, for some reason that over-the-top look has always appealed to me. Then I realised tigerskin would also look like ripples of sand dune, so the die was cast... Unfortunately the tigerskin print was out of stock so we chose a zebra-ish one which the upholster had to order in for a cuppla weeks' time. To our amazement he rang last Tuesday and said he could do the job that day, wildly surpassing our hopes. And we both love the finished result.
It looks much the same as always from the back.
It looks very art galleryish...
ReplyDeleteThere are very few tigers left you see, but plenty of zebras - dime a dozen so to speak.
ReplyDeleteThose zebras do shape up very glamourously I must say.
Happy birthday for today and enjoy your travels!
We'll eat cake and drink champagne in your honour - pity we can't recline on a zebra covered chaise while doing so - now that would be the go!
