My Curb Side Sofa

Underneath they "tried" to fix the springs and added an extra "leg"

Large gaping holes!

Here is the couch that my friends and family found on the side of the road! They told me in hurried voices that I needed to go snatch it up. And I did, what a yuck-fest this was. I think I tore the whole think apart with my fingertips trying not to touch it!!  Standing as far away from it as possible, I vacuumed and washed it off. As you can see, everything needed a revamp: springs, burlap, wood work, legs, batting, cushions... So I went to it, enlisted my parents again for the grunt work and we retied the lower springs.

I had this wonderful Scandinavian red fabric that I put over the whole sofa. (Thanks Kimmy) I hate the gap in between, so I formed one giant cushion instead of two. By painting the wood work an almond color, the detail stands out and contrasts well with the red. Everyday I lay on it, It is my showpiece and I enjoyed every minute that was spent making it beautiful, even if it doesn't sound like it! PS: this is my new apartment...
