Here goes: Every single one of our cats (Silver and Tallulah, may you RIP) has felt compelled to scratch the outter arm of our loveseat, and it's looking mighty pitiful.
No wait, it looks even worse with the flash off.
The couch itself is solid, and while I might want to get the cushions reshaped (am I wrong to think there's a service out there somewhere that sells new foam inserts?), I'm not ready to spring for reupholstering them at this point. And honestly, I paid about $850 for both the couch and the loveseat together, which means they're probably not worth reupholstering.
So I tried something different. A machine-washable slipcover by Surefit. It's a single piece of stretchy fabric with an elasticized bottom that gives it a reasonably snug fit.
The girls were thrilled with our "new red couch" and they oohed and ahhed over how soft the fabric is.
What do you think? Should I get one for the big couch as well, or is it okay to rock the mismatched couches look?
Disclosure: I received the Surefit Stretch Royal Diamond One Piece slipcover for free.

it's ok to rock mismatch! no rules! i make my own slipcovers and love them!
Wow, that looks really great! I agree it's okay to mismatch (although I tend to personally like matchy-matchy, lol)
A good way to make it look really great is to bring in some throw pillows in both colors for both couches!
It is way cool to do the mismatch thing.
Also most fabric stores with cut foam for cusions to order if you ever do want to do that. It is only a couple dollars per square foot.
The slipcover came out really cute!
There's a place over here in Brookfield that did new, very good quality foam inserts for my sofa. I want to say it was a couple hundred for the whole thing, which isn't bad when you price it out at the fabric stores.
It looks great. I think the two couches will look good together since the colors complement each other. Of course, you could go crazy and match the couches just because it would be a whole new look.
Looks great! Very convincing as an option.
