....and hopefully an "after" to share soon! i found this vintage beauty last week on my local craigslist...and paid a whopping $45. thanks very much to my friend emily for coming with me to make sure i wasn't meeting with a psychopath (you never know with CL!). happy to report that the transaction went smoothly & the piece was definitely a steal in my eyes! it is the perfect size to fit in the hearth room of our new kitchen. m & i had been searching a few stores for apartment sized couches, and at around 72" they were still a tad too large. this vintage settee is just about 52" wide & should work perfectly facing the fireplace.
just needs a little tlc
i have spent some time looking for the perfect fabric & have settled on this:
with hot pink cording, similar to this:
ls fabrics is one of my favorite places to shop for unique & beautiful patterns. they always have a great selection & their prices are very competitive. i can't wait to get this piece updated...and share some after pictures soon!
