Only joking. I don't mind the sofa too much, it's the curtains that have to go.

Depending on how expensive it was it may be worth recovering it (although that is not cheap). Otherwise,I think I would sell it and start again with a plain, neutral colour.
I like the curtains(they look like Laura Ashley)and would have been expensive - keep them.
Hi

Dyeing upholstery is fairly straightforward.

Re: A Style Disaster

Hi

The curtains are made to measure Laura Ashley, blackout lined, they cost her £2000.

They are staying.
