mid-century sofa

i try not to do too much upholstery. it's just not really my thing. but sometimes.... i just can't say no.

when a friend sent me a picture of this broken couch on the street, i dropped everything and ran over to pick it up.


new foam, a few very solid repairs and i love it so much i had to set it free (my family would have destroyed it and broken my heart ;) )


look at that design- mmmmmmmmmmm.


the fabric is from ikea.


even the back is sexy.
