Oh my gosh, Mike...that's it!!! Isn't is lovely, in an 80's kind of way? Do you see how they handled the bolsters and that j? They just pinched and pleated every 6 inches or so, creating that puffy look, and the fabric, well don't get me started.
The owner wanted vinyl, because he wanted to "man it up a bit", and I sure don't blame him.

Can you say, "Stabbin' cabin"?

Now that's a seriously ugly interior. No wonder they wanted it changed.   :'(  Yeech!  I'd make the foam more vertical/squared off and cover with vinyl too.  Jojo, you have your hands full with that one.  Good luck, and post what you come up with for sure.  Hope I never have to deal with that ugliness.

update:



his cushions on deck are white w/a gray and red stripe, so this was the scheme we decided on.

that was hard. Thanks guys, for all your help!
