My Mother loved to recover our furniture and she would even sew the curtains and anything else she could to match.   I always felt so lucky to think we had new furniture all the time.  She was always so proud of what she had and wanted everything to look nice for us.   There were times when things were tough for them but she made sure our house was clean...lol Imaculate is a better word..but it was always so nice to come home.  My sisters and myself and now our own children have taken on that same trait.
