[@CASANEUTRAL]

Thank you so much!!!🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

[@zennrising]

Yes ! I’m so glad u did this video I’m gonna do exactly this!❤❤❤

[@CASANEUTRAL]

Yes!! I’m glad I helped in any way!🫶🏻🙏🏻thank you for watching!!

Having a home is a huge responsibility & in todays economic world where everything is stupidly expensive, its becoming unattainable. Great job on the couch.

[@CASANEUTRAL]

Thank you so much!!! I agree with you, it’s getting harder to maintain a home Thanks for watching🫶🏻

[@margierandlebailey]

I have viewed other videos, and the drop cloth is washed first in real hot water even bleached to whiten the fabric. Maybe when you wash it with fabric softener, the factory smell will go away . I like the finished look

[@CASANEUTRAL]

I honestly wish i had done that first lol i was a bit impatient that's why lol🤭Thank you for watching!!

[@theajayis-]

This looks soo good. I'm in the UK so I hope I can find the same drop cloth you used. Well done. 👏

[@CASANEUTRAL]

Thank you so much!! Yes try it!!! 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

[@ShawnaHill83]

Amazon has them. I just got 2 for my sectional

[@susanrix5518]

This is so beautiful!!! Do you have to straighten it out after it's been say and laid on?

[@CASANEUTRAL]

Thank you so much!!!! After a few weeks you do have to re-adjust it by taking off the pins and pulling it again. The longevity depends on how rough you may be with it Hope that helps🫶🏻

[@Sassyhound]

Geeexe you are so fit! Great video! I’m getting ready to do mine too with the twist pins because the first ones didn’t work

[@CASANEUTRAL]

🙈hehe! I don't know about fit lol but I try lol I hope you like the end result

[@Sassyhound]

I washed mine first with fab softener

[@sharonlatour6230]

Did it help with the wrinkles?

[@CRM808]

I love the color. But I agree maybe different color pillows. and just a suggestion how about tucking in the corners (the outer edges of the sofa) through the inside if that makes any sence??? Lol

[@CASANEUTRAL]

🤔I think u have to come show me lol

[@CRM808]

@CASA NEUTRAL I think so too lol I'm so bad at explaining 😅

[@leonorperez5439]

It came out good, I like that you take risks 😉👌

[@CASANEUTRAL]

DIY a coach cover was good she did a good job

[@CASANEUTRAL]

Thank you Jacob!!❤️

[@Sassyhound]

Mine has a chase but fortunately it’s a corner unit against the wall

[@CASANEUTRAL]

they are a bit more challenging but im sure you will find a way. Thank you for watching!

[@michellealamilla6937]

Love it

[@CASANEUTRAL]

Thank you!!🫶🏻❤️

[@user-qi3ti6om4l]

Luv it ! Did you use 2 pieces of canvas

[@CASANEUTRAL]

Thank you!! Yes I did😊one on each sectional piece

[@user-qi3ti6om4l]

@@CASANEUTRAL ty I’ll try that on my sectional as well

[@CASANEUTRAL]

What do you guys think of the cover? Would u try it?😊

[@pattischult9401]

I'm definitely going to try it. We have three major pieces of furniture now, all different colors, and I think I'll use drop cloths on the sofa and love seat and a pop of a color with a sheet on the chair and ottoman. Your mentioning the smell gave me the idea to let the cloth be outside in the sunshine for a few days before putting it on. I hope that will do the trick. My daughter is highly sensitive to smells.

[@shannonsmalfus520]

Aren't all drop clothes the same color when there the neautil ones

[@CASANEUTRAL]

I think there are some that are slightly darker, or maybe they look like it to me🤔lol who knows, you might be right! Thank you for watching!

[@lucysnowe31]

I have a sectional I want to do this to but after watching a few of these, I think I'd take all the cushions and pillows *off* and just drop cloth the basic frame of the sofa. Then, I think I'd slip cover the cushions and pillows separately. More work maybe, but I think I can no-sew those. I like it all except for the way the pillows look like they're "trapped" -- like in a sausage casing. Another idea is to just take your couch pillows/cushions *out* and have a two-toned sofa. ?? I don't know. Good work though and excellent job hanging in there on a job that was harder than it looks!

[@CASANEUTRAL]

You're absolutely right! I actually love your idea! lol they do look like they're trapped I think I might go buy fabric to do exactly that Thank you so much for watching!

[@Sassyhound]

I know you can bleach them to white. I’ve seen videos on that

[@CASANEUTRAL]

Really??? i'm so tempted to do this! I had no idea!

[@Pammie143]

How did this hold up? Are you still using it?

[@CASANEUTRAL]

It held up well actually! I had to re-adjust the fabric every so often because my son would jump on the sofa lol washed a few times, put it back on and kept it. I think it did it’s job

[@meishawelcome8584]

I feel like it came out nice you just need some darker pillows to pop off the color of the cloth. Otherwise I didn’t think I would like it but I do. Good job.

[@CASANEUTRAL]

I totally agree! I now need to go shopping for some lol🤦🏻‍♀️😊

[@CASANEUTRAL]

Thank you!!🫶🏻

[@muevale]

You did great

[@CASANEUTRAL]

Thank you!!☺️🫶🏻

[@viviz3618]

Did you wash it before using it? Maybe take it off, wash it and try again.

[@CASANEUTRAL]

I didn’t lol I was too impatient BUT I did wash it eventually

[@viviz3618]

Hope the smell is gone LOL @@CASANEUTRAL. I'm getting the drop cloth and trying it too. Wish me luck. I also have a sectional

[@traciedowning8566]

Many people wash and bleach the drop cloths first.

[@CASANEUTRAL]

I read about that🤔I was impatient🙈lol I probably should’ve tried it though

[@user-lr5cx1ni4r]

Oh heck no. Id just buy a new couch, sit on the floor or use what I have. The couch looks nice as is. There is no way I'd go through that every time you have to wash it.

[@CASANEUTRAL]

Lol I understand that! It is a lot of work lol but it was worth it to me. Thank you for watching!🫶🏻

[@dianek5118]

Tie your hair back next time you post something....it's pretty distracting to 'flick' your hair back and forth.... lol

[@CASANEUTRAL]

[@vitraboodram5194]

[@CASANEUTRAL]

😆I think you’re right! Lol
