Of course! Yay! Always makes my day to know that the hard work is appreciated :)

Thanks so much for the info! I’m a fellow Minnesotan and was wondering how the sofa might hold up outside in the winter. So glad to hear it worked for you to just cover them up! Also, I loooove your style and your blog. One of my favorites and I get so excited every time you have a new post. Thanks for all the great content!

I did not poly yet, but I will/should do that very soon. I’ll probably do 2-3 coats :)

Hey Kris! This was my big question when living with outdoor furniture too. Our sofa comes with sunbrella cushions – however they did get mildew-y after leaving them outside all last summer. Going into the fall I got a set of outdoor furniture covers to cover the furniture for the winter. I rolled up the rug, and set all the cushions on the section under the cover. I left them outside all winter long. There didn’t seem to be any damage or wear from leaving them outside during the winter, as long as the cover was on. Last week on a sunny day, I power washed all the cushions – which instantly removed the mildew and then I let them dry in the sunshine. It seemed to work perfectly. Point of comment – get a power washer and a cover!
