Good morning ladies, I even know how I came across your site, but I'm so glad I did. I can't seem to stop looking at everything y'all have made. I love all of them so much that I can't wait to do them. The pillow case dress can even be made out of a cotton sheet for older women like me to wear during the hot Georgia summers. I bought all the stuff to paint my kitchen cabinets but haven't felt motivated to do it until now. I'll be wearing that pillow case dress, different prints, all next summer. I'm redoing my guest bedroom and you solved all my problems on what to do in there. I dont need to do the sofa hack now. I wish I'd seen it before I was given the love seat that I have in my girl cave where I sew and read or what ever. I could have made a pretty daybed using the twin size mattress set I had with your bed frame and a piece of wood for pillows as a back. Would have been great. The only thing I would do different is cover the wood with a pretty fabric. Keep doing what you have been doing.. Everything I've watched so far is FANTASTIC & BROUGHT A SMILE TO MY FACE 😀. Thank you for making my Monday morning a blessing, Denise

love the sofa hack , used your idea but i covered the wood with fabric..... i stapled the fabric to the bottom inside of the wood, and to the side ,only up the height of the seat , attached the wood and then pulled the fabric up and over the board and stapled the top inside , covering the bolt heads, and then finished the side , when the back cushion is in place , the inside is hidden and the backside is pretty from the entry way

Excited to try this on my sofa!! Thanks! Do you know what the height of your plywood piece was? Also what size hex bolts did you use? Is it still holding up okay?

OMG. Just moved my sofas and found your project! BUT. Here’s the best part. I tilted one on the side to figure out how to do the bolts. And found that in the zippered compartment are the actual legs! Still in their original boxes. So. Thank you for the awesome hack, and the discovery of the higher legs!

I am just now having this issue with my Tillary, and I'm so excited I found your blog. Can you explain what you mean by the "batting" that came out when you drilled into the base of the sofa? How far apart did you place your bolts? How has it held up in the last few years? :)

Hi! The batting is the white stuffing that is used to make stuff soft. It was not a lot, and didn't cause any issue. I actually sold the sofa in 2019, but in the 5 years I had it like this I had zero issues. It was very strong and worked exactly as I wanted. Leave a Reply. |
