Thank you to everyone for all the helpful suggestions and links. I've spent the day watching all the vidoes and have bookmarked all of them so I can return to them later.
Library, never thought of that. I'll have to make a trip this week.
Actually my Lazy Boy is a sofa and loveseat. When I bought them I was surprised. I was under the assumption Lazy Boy only made recliners. The paint is a good idea. Unfortunately I've had these so long I've pulled all the colors out and used them all (four different colors) over the past 20+ years. The last time I painted, two years ago, I tried a color not in the sofa's. I like the wall colors and honestly think that's what makes me want something different, more in the colors of the wall.
Thank you again everyone. Appreciate you taking the time to help me.
