It makes sense that it’s a two part video...it’s a two part couch...!!!!! Loving it...!!!
I have been watching this series during our 100 degree weather. Love the project, adore your family.
Can't wait to see the door up!
ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR DOOR!! SOOOOOO TALENTED!
Much love from London Ontario!
1982 was the year my daughter was born. I enjoyed the way you are dealing with the tackling covering the thing couch. Can’t wait to see the finished think couch.
From a professional you did a good job.
My oldest son was born in 1984. So glad you are giving your son a fresh bed.
Oh I love the way you problem solve. No matter what pops up you always seem to find the perfect solution. I hit a bump in the road and have a melt down! 😵 Wish I had your patience and talent your projects always look awesome when done. 👏
Creative in your upholstering. Ditto on using a different scrap piece for the backs (maybe some old blue jeans) to spread the primary fabrick for the cushions. Love the color fabric!!! I'll really blend well.
I have enjoyed watching you two so much. I hope the ink couch brings you lots of new ideas because I don’t want this to stop.
I love the color of the fabric 👌 it's perfect . See you tonight
It’s looking so good already. I have full faith in your abilities to make it looks awesome.
Those back pillows are gonna be a challenge I think you will overcome the obstacle and make it look fabulous. You might even get some suggestions from others who had the same back pillow challenge. Good luck ,can’t wait to see how it all turns out in the end...
I do like the fabric you chose. I think it will look great in the camper.
Oh I can’t wait for tomorrow’s episode, I am loving this camper remodel. Thanks for the great videos, stay safe and God bless you all
My son was born in 83!! I had the same fabric on my really awesome couch!! yes in 1981
I have loved all your choices for the camper. That does look like a lot of work and fun. Can’t wait for the reveal!
I think the fabric is really nice, I wasn't sure until you said it was an indoor outdoor industrial type and also really soft :)) I think it's gonna be perfect and can't wait for the accent pillows too :))) I actually want to see some mustard color!!!
You are such a fast thinker on your feet! You should have been a surgeon! So in love with what you all are doing and with your family. And, hey Phil, “What day is it?”
The plastic covering on the pillows was to help them slide the pillow cover on at the factory. I use that trick to get my cushion covers back on when I wash them at home... I just remove mine when I’m done...
I am just amazed at everything you can do Elysia...I am old and very happy there are still clever crafty young woman like you.
It looks great and I Love the color,it looks so soft.
I like the fabric you chose for your couch/bed. It is a lovely warm neutral colour. I look forward to the finish!
Perfect fabric. Then boho the pillows. Great job🤟
I look forward to your videos every day! great job!
I used to help my mom upholster furniture with tacks and a tack hammer. Guess that kinda dates me. Fun video.
I’m just gonna say, the way Phillip looks at you is the way my husband looks at me (most of the time 😂). It’s beautiful. You two inspire me craft wise, but also relationship-wise. You two are beautiful people in and out
Thanks Kayla! I am lucky! He has looked at my this way since we were 19!
Y'all are so stinkin' cute!!!! Lol
I am looking forward to seeing that old Jackknife couch all fixed up, too bad you didn't find a jackpot inside it. 🤑💰
Not even an old penny lol
Elysia English lol
Thank you! Thank you! I've been staring at our exact jackknife sofa for a few months now in complete loss how to tackle it. So now I'm a little more prepared!
Oh and you KNOW you're going to want to change it up...it's your nature! :)
Yikes, I imagine there is quite a collection of yuckies in those button crevices...EW! I realize it was required, but so brave of you to dig into the depths of the couch!
You made this look so easy! Cant wait to see what you did to overcome the challenges it presented! See you tonight!!
Everything is looking fab! Just wanted to mention a couple of things...hoping that they might be helpful. Re buttons:. ( If you want the 6th button).you could use a piece of cardboard or ply to make another round. Make a little "t" section with a match stick to keep the yarn from pulling through the new button. Cover with foam or fabric. You won't be able to tell the difference. Re fabric scissors:of course it goes without saying, these are your tools and you may use them how you wish. But, if you want your scissors to glide through your various fabrics when you are creating sewing projects, They should only be used for that purpose. When using them for deconstruction, the blades may end up warped, nicked or with glue on them. They will be difficult to cut seamlessly. Fabric scissors are generally not even used to cut the tissue paper patterns used for sewing. Can't wait to see the next installment. Great job. Love the content.
You two make me smile!
Another beautiful piece of work!
Love the color of the fabric. Can't wait until the jack knife couch is done to see the whole thing finish ed.
Love to. Watch you think on your feet....you amaze me...God bless y’all and stay safe and healthy!
Fearless, confident, meticulous. And fun to watch! You two are awesome.
Thank you Arlene!
You are so much braver than I was ... I had the same couch in my RV and I pulled it out and threw it away. I bought a really cool red futon to replace it.
Nice job, I would of added a thin extra layer of foam to umpfff up the comfort level since a kid has to sleep on it. Love how it's all coming together.
There will be a bed mat also when hes sleeping
I thought you've been pretty ambitious doing all that you have done on a daily basis. I think it makes perfect sense to give yourself a little more space. Not to say I haven't enjoyed watching it daily but don't push yourself. See you when your next video goes up.
I love all the colors your using. Wow this couch is a piece of work. You can do it! Loving the daily videos.( I wish nature would be more cooperative though) Thanks for sharing your time with us.
I am looking forward to the blue tape being gone!! Lol
Thank you for sharing ❤️💗❤️💖
SENDING A BRIGHT WHITE LIGHT OF LOVE TO SURROUND THE UNIVERSE 🤗💞💖🤗 AND EVERYONE 🤗❣️❣️🤗💞💖
You are amazing! I would have cried, if I had faced that couch😫 Bravo!
Cliffhanger! 🙃 It's already so much better.
Your doing a beautiful job on the couch. Can't wait to see it the finished. And dose look comfy
Trust me by putting that plywood under there you've just made that battle way more comfortable because now you're back no longer has to lay across the metal bar
I like the fabric ..the couch ,I call that a click clack couch . We had one in our old camper .. I'll be seeing you live in a bit ...
Thanks for sharing ...💐🥰
Can't wait to see the couch when it is finish.but I have to say it again ...I love that bathroom door!
Looking good lady and gentlemen! Y’all are just so creative! You’re the perfect pair for each other! See ya in a few minutes as you’re about to go live! YAY!
The material looks good on the couch. Cant wait to finish look
And you two were born the same year as my youngest son....AND I was 35 when we adopted him. So although I'm no longer a spring chick, I love being an active, opinionated "senior" hen. Have done many upholstery projects. One of my favorite activities in the past...bringing new life to older items.
I like the color could go with so many accent colors. Great work.
I so needed this video!
Our couch was sat in by the same 4 adults for 28 years. It’s now like sitting in a toilet and you feel the bars!
We wanted to take it out and put in a futon but it covers all of the ducts. 🤨
I know how to do box cushions and I already did those in the dinette but this couch is... it’s bad!
I’m getting my brainstorming watching you redo yours!
We will have to back on how you two removed it. What a process it will be!
It’s going to look awesome 👍
Loving your problem solving... thank you.
I love the colour, I can’t wait to see it finished, love you guys
So happy to see the progress of the think couch.Loving every moment of it. Love all the vlogs. Thank you for sharing.
That was a good idea to stuff the indentations . good job you identified that before you wrapped the fabric. you have an eye for detail.
The material looks so comfy and cozy❤️
Genius thinking about the wood for the couch🙌
Omg!!! Finally, I've waited since you started this journey to see this!
Elysia, don't sell yourself short. For someone who has limited experience upholstering, you're doing great! I know I wouldn't tackle it. Especially the button part. Great job, both of you!! I know you don't live in B.C. but you'd think so with all the rain you're getting. Can you believe this ongoing snow! We're finally getting some decent weather. Have a great evening!
This has been fun to watch. I like your thinking process. Can't wait for tomorrow!
Use scrap fabric for the back of the back cushions. It will cut down on the weight for when you velcro it into the rest of the couch.
I like the fabric can't wait to see the finished sofa project.
My Jayco is a '97' and still had the factory valances and curtains that you could tell had not been washed since 1997. They were gone really fast.
I’m amazed the foam is in such good shape.
I was surprised they didn’t put new foam in
Love the idea on recovering the back cushions...brilliant!!
Fun to watch, but God knows I don't have the talent or patience for such a project lol!
Its alot of work and it takes time. Lovin the color of the fabric and how it will all tie into ur design.
We r suppose to get rain this weekend ...as long as it ain't snow
Stay safe ❤
When I find out you guys were born the year I graduated high school. Dagger in my heart. LOL!!! Keep up the good work.
I graduated in 1985, I get what you mean. LOL.
@@rosedouglas9586 I graduated 10 years before they were born! Does that make you feel any better? HaHaHaHa!!!
My hubby graduated 83 and yes I graduated 86...hits right in the gut..lol
I was 13 when you were born 😱😱😱. My brain likes to think I am still your age, but sadly my face reminds me every morning that I am not 🤪
I was 30 when they were born!! My daughter was born in 1986!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ the couch fabric and colour! 🇨🇦
So exciting! Perfect material for the couch - lovin it! Loving this series! ❤️
I loved watching you doing what you do. Your amazing as a couple. I love you guys. I loved the upholstery, you picked just the right one.
Wow awesome. Can't wait to see when the couch is done
I did a lot of upholstering. When I had to do something like you’ve done on the seat of the couch, I usually fill the cracks like you did if I am not putting more buttons or changing the place of the buttons and then put an extra foam all over it like 1 to 2 inches thick and then you will not see the old form of the seat through the new material. Love the color with your throw cushions in the other colors you have, it will be beautiful. Your NB.... follower
My mother did a lot of upholstery back in the day. She did a number of antiques that were pretty disgusting!! One thing she always did, however, was cover old foam with a lightweight muslin just to protect the final fabric cover. I realize that you might not have muslin available at this time but in the event that you need to recover the "think couch" in the future, you might want to consider that.
I LOVE the neutral fabric you chose for the couch! It's looking great! Can't wait to see tomorrow's finished project!
Love the cover color. The neutral looks great. Kids are pretty lightweight but, in general, I hate buttons on cushions someone sleeps on. The bones always find them and they hurt as the night goes on. Comfort over "dimension".
There will be a bed pad on the couch when sleeping :)
Hey, it takes as long as it takes. Y'all are doing a great job.
Can’t wait, see you guys tomorrow!
A friend of mine and I reupholstered The dining benches and the couch bed in a dark blue denim so it wouldn’t show quite the dirt we done a pretty good job for never doing it before I love the color of yours it’s definitely going to look super great once you get done with it I love it🤟💚🤍🧡
Just FYI, I reupholstered this same kind of sofa in a camper. If you Velcro the back pillows so they can be removed for sleep to give added room and it makes the couch more comfortable for sleeping. Love watching your videos. Keep well. Grandma from Tenn.
My boys were born in 1979 & 1981. So y'all make me feel old! LOL I would put the fabric over the pillow back, tuft the buttons thru the cushion and then wrap the pillows & back at one time to save some fabric. Not sure if you were planning to use that fabric in other places in the camper. I'm probably no helps either since I'm reading this so late! Hope it all came together! Oh, you can use coat hanger or wire to thread the button strings thru. HUGS~Donna
Can’t wait to see what this turns out like!!!
Sooooo looking forward to the final results! You amaze me with your creativity and problem solving skills! 💗
Try doing the back the same as the bottom. Just attach the pillow foam to the back, then apollster it as one unit. The staples on the pillows sounds like an accident waiting to happen. Anyway, it's coming along great thank you so much for the video. John S.
Just my two cents, but would use your spray adhesive and attach the pillow foam to the back and then reupholster the same way you did the bottom. Love watching your camper reno. A former Nova Scotia girl here, now living in Belize!
What fun your doing a great job! Love the fabric choice .
Sofa bed think couch is going to amazing to match the rest! Great projects!
I can’t wait can’t wait can’t wait I know it’s gonna turn out just perfectly fine see you guys tonight
You guys are doing awesome job. Looks real good. Look the color. Keep it up, you are doing great. Love you guys.👍👍💓
Love the color. Sorry about.😔😔
I love that he didnt take on the credit of "we". 👏🏽👏🏻👏🏽👏🏻👏🏽👏🏻🙌🏾 looking forward to this campers full transition.
You are ambitious, I would never attempt to recover the couch lol. I have faith in you and sure you will make it look fantastic 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇨🇦❤️
You take your time! I like how real you both are! Blessed and safe days!
Im sure your going to get this figured out. You always do.
No worries on it taking more than one video for it...it means more content for your channel and that is great..TFS
You're doing a nice job on the thinking couch.Going to be great.
It’s going to look sooo good ❤️❤️❤️ can’t wait!!!!
Girl you are like my recycle twin 🤣😂🤣, I can look at something sit back and think about it and come up with a way to fix it.
I love the material for the couch. I can't wait to see it finished but at the same time I don't want the videos with the camper to end lol.
