Memorial Day weekend was beautiful here in So. Calif.  We didn't accomplish much, but ran a few errand.
I received my sofa from Ethan A and my recliner from Lazy B.  But, last week I noticed that the sofa cushions didn't look like they had enough stuffing, you know, puckering and the back cushion's were rolling forward, not a good look for a cushion with welting around all of the seams.  Then, my husband pointed out to me, that the first board on the foot recliner was broken in half.  We really hadn't used the recliner much, the seat doesn't have enough stuffing!?!  So, I got on the phone and made appointments to have someone come out to see if they could fix these problems or exchange them.  I have always bought Sherrill sofa's and have never had any problems at all.  So I am totally bummed.  I have rearranged my 'props', added a few and need to pack the others and put in cupboards in garage.  I haven't recovered my bergere chairs yet.  The fabric suggested is a linen (loose)/ silk blend.  As much as I love it, I am trying to find something a little heavier. ( We have a great room, so this is where we live.)
Today I am painting chairs with ascp, french linen with dry brush white.  I already recovered the seats, I took them off of the chairs.  I have a neutral buffalo plaid on the seats.
That's all for now.  May the Lord bless you all, Paula Lusk

  2. Goodness, sounds like you got some bad furniture. I bet you could just cover something vintage and do a much better job, but then again there is nothing like a lazy boy!

  3. Would love to see your bergere chairs when you have finished them. I have a lot of things in my shed that were my mothers, either half stripped back or not at all, they are all waiting for me to finish them off and give them new life.

  5. Hi Paula,

    So nice to meet you! Working on DIY projects is so rewarding, isn't it? Hope your chairs turn out just the way you want them. I'm sure with the ascp and a little of your elbow grease, you'll have works of art!

  6. Oh my gosh, that's terrible. I have a lot of EA furniture and they have always repaired or replaced if something was wrong. I hope they still have good customer service; it's been five years since I bought any furniture. It must be so annoying, because you waited so long already.

    I also have two leather recliners from LB: a twenty year old and a 12 year old and they are still perfect. So they screwed up or went south; I hope their customer service is good.

  7. That's too bad about the furniture and I hope EA will fix or replace them. I look forward to see the bergere chairs when completed.
