  • I started by removing the covers and washing them.
  • I labeled the "fluff" taken from the back cushions so I wouldn't get confused when it was time to re-stuff.
  • I used this quilt batting ($9.99 at Walmart) to beef up the cushions.
  • I simply trimmed the batting and wrapped it around the bottom cushions to boost their fluff-ability. Yep. That's the technical term. ;)
  • I put the covers back on the new beefed-up cushions and now my couch looks as good as new.

  • -Glass: Crackled or curved, glass tiles are simply stunning. The variation inherent in their creation lends the appeal that many find in natural stone. Glass is a great option for additional colors, or something a little more modern than stone. 5
