The Old and the "old" new

We had a lot of sentimental feelings about an old couch.  
It had done it's bit and we had to decide to dispose of it or  . . . . 
give a makeover.  

Over the years we have hold hands, laugh at jokes and snuggle on the couch.


And then the arm sections were lifted and half rounds were added.  
The back section was re-inforced


Time for Mariaan and Mary to do their charm with the inners



And then the outer.  Leather for cover.

Think that we will have some more fun on the "old" new couch. 
Lots of blessing from South Africa

Thank you for all the wonderful friends whom are sharing this story!!!
