Go ahead and scrape off anything that’s hanging down off of your ceiling, and be sure to clean your ceilings well before starting, but don’t feel like you need to sand the whole thing down, mud the whole thing, and sand it all down again to do a “good job”.

But it is well past the stage where laundering helps it and flipping the cushions doesn’t help because there are spills on both sides of all of them..So the time has come.

I Googled slipcovers and landed on the Surefit website..So many choices!I ordered a bunch of swatches last week, but I may need your help deciding.

It’s a big decision if it’s going to last us another 4 years.We may even get around to finishing the living room by then!.

This is one of my top choices, but then I was thinking of something like this for the curtains, so that wouldn’t work..

I really really love this fabric, but I think that may be too much on the biggest piece of furniture in the room..Tighten those caps really well.

Now pull on them with all your might!They shouldn’t come off!

If they do, tighten them again, but more.. Now put your light up onto the mounting plate and secure it with the little decorative bolts that come with it.Put some caulking around it if you’re working with an outdoor light..
