Meet the Fairy Sofa Godmother

I just love my old IKEA sofa, it's so comfy and almost feels like a good old friend. Too bad that the cover is past its prime and the sofa model has been discontinued for a while. How often have I wished the sofa had some kind of fairy godmother who waved her magic wand over it and, hey presto, it would be as good as new. Wishful thinking, of course, because there is no such thing as a fairy sofa godmother. Or is there?

Indeed there is, and her name is Bemz (or rather the company's name is Bemz: http://www.bemz.com). They make the most beautiful slip covers for all IKEA sofa models, even those that have been discontinued (they also do chairs) - and they don't just copy IKEA's original covers. You'll find exciting choices like fabrics from Designers Guild and Marimekko.

What a great idea!
