A neighbor put this loveseat on the curb. My daughter got it thinking she could use it for the house she is staying in during college but after bringing it in our house decided it wouldn’t fit in the space. Ot was so cute I decided to keep it but give it a go using the All in One Paint since I didn’t have anything to lose except a quart of paint and time. I saw where you can crumple craft paper/paper bag and use to sand. I did that after each coat dried. I did 2 coats. I completely used all the paint. There are some places where it could use a bit more paint but not enough to make it worth getting more I don’t think. After sanding it with the paper it did surprisingly take the roughness off to where if feels closer to leather than painted fabric. Overall I do love it. The process was pretty easy. And I was able to make something work that wouldn’t have in it’s original color.
