Not my cats. They’ve ruined two leather chairs. They don’t seem to care about the fabric furniture.

No. Keep leather!! It’s durable

Do a slipcover, not a complete recover.

It’s just too nice for us. Two little kids plus two pets.


Leather is super durable and much easier to keep clean than fabric couches.

No. Just buy what you want.

I would keep it until/if it gets ruined, and talk to someone about reupholstering it then.

Absolutely. You could have a really nice slipcover made. Or if it’s just leather cushions on wood frames, have covers made. My 83 year old mom would totally do this for me if I were in your shoes. She’s a wiz at sewing.

Probably yes with mission style furniture

An aunt died and left me a few pieces of furniture. I love this beautiful leather mission style armchair but I hate leather. Super impractical for our house. Is it possible to have it recovered with fabric?
