Hey I recently bought a used couch and wish to dye it or something to make it look nicer.
The fabric is made of Denim. Only the cushion covers are removable… so that leaves me wondering how to dye the rest of the body since I wont be able to initially wash it.
I cant seem to find coushion covers for sale nor hide a bed covers that allow removal of the cushion instead of the whole cover to then bare its tackiness lol.
PLEASE HELP!

I have two weeks or less to get this thing looking good!
the In Laws are coming! Ahhh!

Yellow

I sit in a groaning, rocking chair with my old age around my shoulders causing them to stoop. I push out with my tired feet letting the motion of the chair sooth me while I count the passer-bys on the other side of the window.
The day is weary and wet, the unceasing rain turning every object a shade of gray. The only break in the monotonous color scheme is the various colors of umbrellas. There goes a large blue one, and a child sized flower pattered one, and a red one that had turned inside out and is now drenching the poor man handling it. Gee, what fun an old woman can have! Ha, that is the third green one so far, and look a pale yellow umbrella.
Yellow was once my favorite color. Like fresh butter on toast, or like the dainty flowers that grew behind my mother’s home, or the huge waving sheets on a sail boat at sea.
I close my eyes to the damp world outside and travel to another window, one that I knew very well:

There is no creaking chair here and old age is not my companion. I sit on the cushioned window bench with my strong back strait and my young legs curled under my cotton dress.
This view is what I long for, the beach and its sea. The late afternoon sun reflects in the waving water and the sand reveals its true colors.
The people here are not passer-bys, they smile and invite themselves in, or they simply greet with a tilt of the head. They would never ignore an old woman like me. But that isn’t me, I’m young and brave and beautiful here.
Now I see children bouncing along the beach searching for the perfect spot to build their fortress. The adults watch on while soaking in the warm sunlight or sloshing in the cool sea water.
The sun begins to darken as a few grey clouds invade the perfect blue sky. I can sense a storm is on its way as I watch the sea waves grow larger and less merciful. My heart tightens as I realized I should be afraid, but not for myself.
The adults on the beach scoop up their children and run for shelter just as it starts to rain. I can hear a plinking sound on the window’s glass and I know this isn’t a gentle shower. The clouds are turning a deeper graying purple and they are dancing in the murky sky. Where had the glorious sun gone?
I gaze at the churning sea, willing my eyes to see just a little more clearly. There! Is that it? I think I can see it, a boat that has a wooden hull and pale yellow sails, my favorite color. Yes, that is the one. He is safe now.
My heart stumbles as I see the precious sail boat get taken under by the murderous water. Numbly, I run from the window into a monster of a storm. I can’t see through the wall of rain but I know he needs my help. I have to find him. I have to rescue him from this horrid fate.
I run to where the sand meets the sea, ready to dive into deadly territory. My heart now breaking, I know I will never reach him. I know I will never find him. I know I will miss him.

I awake in the wretched rocking chair, my old age intact. The motion of the chair had stopped when I had fallen asleep so I push out with my feet to get it started again while I try to forget my dream.
I glance out the window in front of me now, the sky is clear and a gorgeous rainbow has placed itself in my direct line of sight. The beautiful rainbow’s hues varied from deep red to light violet, with a hint of palest yellow in the center. Yellow was once my favorite color.

Local favorites, unique restaurants also welcome.

Also, Old Town San Diego has an outdoor mexican restaurant which I enjoyed last time I was there but I can’t remember the name, all I can really remember where large colorful umbrellas & a large meal for a very reasonable price.

Any help on either or both is appreciated.

Three friends and I are all professionals in Public Relations, Marketing, Image Consulting, Event Planning and Branding. Though we all work independently we usually assist on each others projects and pool our resourses. One person may be a leader on a particular project and then everyone else falls into place by giving help where it is needed. At times we all work on the same projects collectively, giving our help in whichever areas we each specialize in.

We are now coming together and forming a company which embodies each of our individual businesses yet allows us to work together and pool our resources. Would this be considered an umbrella company?

Thanks in advance for your advice.
Just to clarify we all work together and we share the profits of each project. For instance, if I am the project manager of a particular assignment I would make a little more than everyone else working on that project because I was responsible for securing the job. What I mean by pooling our resources is that we each have our own seperate businesses and along with that comes having our own lists of contacts and our own skills so whenever we have something we are working on we call upon the resources of the others.

Okay, so I can’t find this question anywhere else on the web. I know this is a stupid question but here you go: How do you make a couch out of pillows and blankets? So bored, and my mom isn’t letting me get a couch in my room. This is what I have: Lots of stuffed animals, 2 blankets one large one small, 2 large cushions, 4 very small pillows. If you can’t think of a couch, just think of a comfortable place to use the computer and lay down. I also have a medium sized bench and a lawn chair thing.

Any negative answers, and I will report you. = )
I know stupid to put in Games and Rec. but there’s no category of boredom which there should be….

Thanks!

I have a large sofa bed with removable cotton covers. Can I dye them at home or is a domestic washing machine too small? I read that if your machine is too small the dye will be patchy. Obviously I’d do the bits that cover the cushions/seats separately but that would still leave me with the huge bit that covers the whole body of the sofa.
It is currently white but as I bought it second hand it’s got a few marks on it that won’t come out.
