And of course, the fabric was COM. About $2000 worth. I thought I would die and go out of business, and I didn't care in which order that took place!<br /><br />Surprisingly, the client came in and decided that she liked the fabric better reversed. <br /><br />I'm still alive, but I did, eventually, go out of business.

Sad thing is, my initial thoughts are "That's cute, I should try it on" - and then reality hits. I'm a little beyond that look, shall we say. Next, I adore the sofa makeover - I have a camelback that I plan to have reupholstered and I love the fabric choice and that skirt is killing me! Saving that image! And sorry about the install from hell - sounds like you handled it with class. Can't wait to see everything in place as you ordered it - looks great so far!
