Jean lounge revamp

Ever had an idea you just had to act on? I have been thinking about covering a lounge in denim jeans forever and after Casper took to the back of mine with bleach (as well as previously vomited, peed and picked his nose on it) I decided it was time to give it a go!

I collected ALOT of jeans....and started cutting



Here is a before picture of the lounge, with the bleach toting menace. After I took these photos I thought it actually looked quite nice, I had to assure myself it was a festy mess that needed sorting, (the lounge not the boy)....

and the bleach.....
What started out as a great idea, turned into a time consuming nightmare! but I had to persist. In order to cover the lounge I had to cut it up a bit, so there was no giving up and returning to what was really a perfectly OK good lounge (except for the bleach, pee, etc....)

Finally, a finished product.....









This ones next, it has great bones and was given to me by a friend. I think I am going to do something with velvet.....

  3. Wow, this is a great idea! They look wonderful. I just purchased new furniture with removable blue jeans fabric slipcovers and love them. The pets are no longer banned from sitting with us as the slipcovers just wash up like a dream. Great look!
