Kept the original cushions as they were in great condition since the owner kept them wrapped in plastic. Had to wash the covers yuk but they cleaned up well. First photo mucky water, second clean bunks. Made reversable curtains hard to find a match for that plaid. Happy with the end results
Just learning the whole uploading photos so its not going as well as I had hoped, but you can get an idea. Fixed the front end due to some pretty ugly rock damage.
What Gina said! You did an incredible job of matching the pattern on the step-up.
Its linolium, I did it in three parts. Main floor, potion that goes vertical, then the floor below the table. My husband thought I was crazy trying to get it "just so". "Who is going to notice?" was his exact reply. There I was with my newspaper templet. It took a little bit of effort and I don't look forward to replacing it anytime soon. I did not attach the floor so that I can continue to check for water leaks here and there. Thanks for the feed back. Brandy

Hi Brandy--not sure you'll get this message, but curious as to what you used to wash the cushions (type detergent? cold or hot water?) and did they shrink at all?
Secondly, wondered about your flooring--since you used linoleum and didn't glue it down so that you could check for leaks--what's stopping it from curling up on the outer edges--have you found it does that--or no problem curling yet (since it's been a year). Thanks for the B4 & After shots--always nice to see what I may be having to do....
I had some "gental detergent???? can't think of the name.......just rinsed and rinsed them until the water was reasonable clean then I actually put them on the gental cycle in the wash machine (warm) and hung them to dry. NO shrinking what so ever and they came out smelling fresh from the outdoors clean. I did wrap the foam back in plastic (think drycleaning garmet plastic) and wrestled them back over the foam....a tiny challenge. The linoleum stays flat, no curling to speak of. Since the floor was put in I've had two leaks that went undetected for a short time so I was thankful the floor was not attached....pulled it out let it dry and fixed said leaks. Had I put carpet or wood flooring I would have been cursing.
