before....

....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:

Casablanca Wht/Fla Blue Ikat Fabric

with hot pink cording, similar to this:

BIR-706

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!
