Congratulations! You finally convinced your husband that it was time to get rid of his old tattered and torn easy chair. (Either that or you had theSalvation Army come and haul it off while he was at work!) To soften the blow,you searched and searched and finally found the perfect replacement. The coloris good, the style masculine enough, and a new piece of upholstery reallybrightens up the living room.

Now we’re going to learn the real reason men do not like to replace theirold, worn out furniture. It’s not that they’ve become too attached, as wewould like to believe. It is because now, as our feminine eyes survey the roomwe realize that since the chair has been replaced, the sofa’s got to go, andthose drapes...ugh!!! He knew all along that the cost of a new chair would notbe the end of it. You are now on a mission to totally redecorate the entireroom!

There is a compromise. Recover the old sofa at a fraction of what a new onewould cost. Make some new drapes yourself; even hiring a seamstress can be lessexpensive than purchasing new drapes. Shopping for fabric online makes thisproject a breeze. Most manufacturers and retailers will provide samples for youto preview at a nominal cost. There are a wide variety of fabric types availableonline. You can choose from old-fashioned tapestries, faux-leather vinyls, andeven themed prints such as animal prints, billiards, rustic lodge patterns,coastal patterns, and southwestern designs.

The waterproof vinyl fabrics are available in a wide array of colors tocompliment any decor and are soft and easy to work with. They are easy to keepclean and will stand up to heavy use. You could mix it up a bit and use asuitable print for throw pillows. The tapestry-like jacquard fabrics also holdup well under heavy use and provide a more antique look. The themed prints canadd just the right touch to a rustic motif, a jungle theme, a game room, or anold-style gentleman’s den.

Whatever you choose, you will certainly save money over purchasing newfurniture and you will be thrilled with the results. And he’ll be so thrilledwith the money saved, you might even be able to convince him that it’s timefor a new stove!
