funky crushed velvet makes its appearance

What is this boy doing?
And for that matter, what is THIS boy doing?

These boys were first plied with a hearty breakfast, Then they were cajoled into helping me with a few litttle projects around the house.

Together, they took apart our antique couch.

They removed 6,439 staples which held the raspberry upholstery in place.

While they did that, I cleaned the wooden frame.

Underneath that raspberry upholstery was this green crushed velvet. We knew it was there; we were waiting for the right time to reveal its funky beauty.

Today was the right time.

Don't you agree?
