Upholstery

We've been looking at fabrics for the dinette and sofa cushions, which both convert into beds. The front cabin might be quite clean and minimal, with the main (back) cabin being a bit bolder. We wanted something bright and breezy but really hardwearing for when the kids clamber all over everything. We've been looking in Martin-Day Fabrics in Sandiacre, very helpful! So we're planning on a textured charcoal which hints of the 1950s, and a thick almost corduroy red for the back cabin (it's somehow reminiscent of Wayfarer bus seats!) We'll have piping in a contrast colour. We've spoken to a highly recommended local upholsterer, who we may have to keep secret, about putting things together...more to follow...
