From Cloth to Leather Sofa (Black for Invisible Stains)

When my parents decided to finally let go of the old and dilapidated furnishings at home, they decided to purchase sofas with leather upholstery for ease of cleaning.  Since grandchildren were almost always in their home,  the old sofa suffered much from horseplaying and received quite a number of spills and whatnots that left it stained, torn, and haplessly shabby.  A leather sofa was definitely easier to clean and since they chose one in black, stains from spills would be unnoticeable.

That was a few years back, and, well, that leather sofa also bore the brunt of toddlers and preschoolers’ horseplay.  When once it was shiny and smooth, tears here and there mar it now.  We really should take it to a leather upholstery repair shop before the tear worsens. And with preschoolers in the house – believe me, it’ll get much worse faster than you can say supercalifragelisticexpialidocious.

I doubt whether my parents would get a new sofa soon.  They’d probably just have the current one repaired expecting it to be dilapidated soon due to their grand children’s rough play.  If they do decided to purchase a new one, I’m sure it’ll still be black or another dark color to hide spills and stains.
