Recycled Couch
My new found passion, up-cycling second hand goods...this was my first project. It started out like this. A $40 couch from a second hand store that had seen better days.
Choosing the right fabric was actually the hardest part...turns out there is not a lot of variety in Christchurch, New Zealand...and what there is, is way over-priced. Trusty old Spotlight had a 30% off sale so I got myself some of this red upholstery fabric. Thought it would add the right retro tone as well as brighten up any room. And it worked!
After quite a lot of plotting, and ripping, and pulling, and cutting, and sewing, and hammering, and blistered fingers....
.....this was the masterpiece result. I am extremely pleased with it.
