This looks interesting . . .

[GlampDaddy]

So it looks like Trish picked out the color, which is a good thing. But it's not exactly what she wanted, so we decided that I must have been rushing her. At the end of the day, I'm sure it will be just fine. It's just such a drastic change going from chocolate brown to a beige, and it's going to take some time to get used to it.

The fellow doing the work is picking the parts up here at the coach, taking them back to his shop, and then bringing them back. Both the captain chairs are finished, but he didn't want to install the passenger chair until he brought back the last two recliners. So hopefully, we will have our coach back together by the middle of next week.

Looks like Trish did the color pickin’ - very nice!

Matches the dash color. Nothing a few pizza's can't fix.

Different strokes for different folks but it looks great to me.

Looks great! Thanks for sharing!

 

[lostinfla]

Looks very nice Jim! I'm afraid that's next for us after all the mechanical and electrical crap I'm dealing with now.

 

[purring along]

Jim the upholstery looks good. The color is similar to ours, nice choice.

 

[Jim]

Fellow brought the rest of the furniture over today. I think it looks pretty good! He couldn't install the front passenger chair as I am replacing the washer and would just have to take it back out in a week. But he said he would come back and install it for me after I get the washer in. That's some great service!

 

[Neal]

Jim, I could use the control knob on the washer, I busted mine and 3D printed one, which works great. @Texas Clodhopper may want your door lock on the washer if he can't find a replacement for his. We need your parts

Wowza! Almost like a brand new coach! Now, about that clock...

 

[Buster]

Looks great. I think we have the same color cabinetry as you do so now I know how the lighter upholstery looks. Ours is still in decent shape but would probably lean the way you did and get rid of the dark chocolate we currently have. Makes the inside look a log brighter.

 

[Jim]

Looks great.

Thanks Buster. It really is a big difference. I wasn't sure when we started this, but Trish generally does well with this sort of stuff. So yeah, I'm not unhappy with it at all.

No love for the clock? lol, to be honest, we started looking for one a couple of years ago. Just never found one that fits the bill.

 

[Boat Bum]

Hey Jim, if you happen by a Hobby Lobby they have a section of wall clocks with some pretty cool ones, I bought an old English train station clock there for our new house. You may see something you like, again, the one near me had a large selection and I like clocks/watches.

BTW, as nice as your new upholstery is, I don't see a anything wrong with the old but then again, I'm Yankee frugal.

Thanks Boat Bum. Although it's not obvious in the pictures, the old stuff was suffering from the "pealing and flaking" issue that so many other Flex Steel installs had. So it was a must do situation.

 

[Boat Bum]

Ahh, I've read about that and was a concern when I purchased my little 2015 Bay Star used, none of my upholstery has suffered from this and it is Flexsteel; knock wood. I did inspect all the skins when first looking at this b/c of what I read, there was a very small area on the bottom of the captain's chair where obviously a cat had scratched.

 

[purring along]

Jim it looks great, now can't wait to have ours done in May.

 

[lostinfla]

This is the clock we replaced the stock unit with. Much more useful...

 

[Boat Bum]

That's funny because since retired I have a harder time remembering the day than the date.

 

[Jim]

Had some time on my hands.
