Before + After: White Sofa

You might have seen glimpses of my white sofa on my IG or previous posts.  I bought this sofa at the Minks to Sinks flea market in Connecticut.  It then sat in my garage for over a year in a half while we moved from Connecticut to Georgia and then rented small house while we settled down in Georgia.  I swear my husband was going to take a blow torch to it.  It’s fairly huge and took up a large space in our tiny garage.  But I saw its potential and really liked the “modern meets vintage” shape of the sofa and wanted to hold on to it.  Also I bought it for a screaming deal.    

I love a story behind an old furniture piece.  I found out that it came from the home of an interior designer who had three kids…so the sofa got a lot of love.  There was brass nails along the back side of the sofa and bottom.

  

Here is the AFTER of the sofa.  I had it professionally upholstered so the cushions could be re-stuffed and not so slouchy.  I reupholstered it in a Calico Corners high performance cream-colored fabric.
