A couple of weeks later, daughter in tears on the phone, someone had put a black permanent marker in with the washable ones. Well my beautiful granddaughter found it a proceeded to style the lounge. I had need caught at the traffic lights behind a Leather Doctor that very same morning. I telephoned them and was answered by very helpful man. He suggested she spray the texts with "Alberta VO5 and rub lightly with a clean cloth. This worked and to this day the lounge still proudly sits without the modern texts design. I am not getting anything forentioningthiese companies, but hope this helps other readers. Evidently Alberta VO5 is the only brand to use. <br />Thanks<br /><br />Larainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07753576619685212979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7072740790042271296.post-66631847040713840382016-12-21T14:35:23.292-05:002016-12-21T14:35:23.292-05:00I like an old worn aesthetic myself....on most thi...I like an old worn aesthetic myself....on most things. I am definitely OCD about some things though and that countertop is one of them. Now if it was made of wood or marble, I would not be as crazy.

I'm trying to relax more, knowing it won't stay pristine. I don't mind the stuff getting 'character' since I have a Love Affair with Old things that already came that way. My kids used to have to explain it to their Friends... No, we're not Poor, Mom likes it looking this way. *Bwahahaha* The Grandkid's and Friends don't even seem to notice now that Old Stuff is trending and more people 'get it'. Thank God my eccentricities are finally On-Trend and I don't seem nearly such a Weirdo as I once was perceived to be! *winks* Well... in some circles anyway, my Morticia Aesthetic is still not FULLY appreciated by the masses... we are the Addams Family of the Burbs.

I'm not sure if you clicked over to see how I fixed mine, if you didn't here is the link (http://www.exquisitelyunremarkable.com/2015/06/editorial-content-or-how-to-fix-torn.html). I have to say that's it's been pretty good and it was worth the stitching risk, because it couldn't get any worse! I also have to say that I am ready with a throw...just in case, it happens again! Good luck!<br />Kim https://www.blogger.com/profile/15445291034631735026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7072740790042271296.post-3070731310107529142016-12-09T20:43:09.631-05:002016-12-09T20:43:09.631-05:00Kim, I enjoy your blog and was surprised to see th...Kim, I enjoy your blog and was surprised to see the sofa dilemma. I have the same exact problem on a checked patterned sofa. Did you find a good fix. I am waiting until after the holidays to tackle this and for now have a lovely knit throw covering the tear. If my attempt to stitch it doesn't work the throw may be my best solution ever!Cyndyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13086351833396111075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7072740790042271296.post-76596059327456599952016-12-09T18:58:52.988-05:002016-12-09T18:58:52.988-05:00Put the tip on the bottle, Mary! ;) Haha!!
