Yes, you can paint your couch, I did!

We've had this couch for over 10 years, and it was time for a re-invention.
First, I stapled the skirt up.
Next, I ordered stainless peg feet.
Finally, I convinced my wife, that regular (egg shell finish) wall paint would give us new lease via a vibrant color (the original color was between forest / pea soup green).
It worked!
(That is, after 3-4 coats of paint, of course. Roller application of the paint worked best.)
And mom made us new pillow covers from old curtains.
