finally!

I will show you guys the updates on my sis' house tomorrow - but today I am proud and happy to show off my newest Ebay fix! Remember my excitement over this 50's sectional I got on Ebay???




Looking past the nubby turquoise fabric, I saw the modern arms and curve shape, the gorgeous pin feet with brass tips, and the almost perfect condition. Sofas of this make and era have super heavy cushions with springs inside. This was a perfect piece just crying out for new upholstery. I wanted to get rid of the channel tufted back and cover it in a pale neutral linen. Here it is...


 


Gorgeous, right?? I am so pleased with it. I know I say this every time, but this truly is a forever piece! haha

Also got this octagon chrome table base on Ebay and now I need to have glass or marble cut for the top. So much going on at the tiny apartment these days...


The rug underneath is my second Beni Ourain from Morocco - this time I got one with no pattern so it would be more neutral and basic...What do you think of these Ebay redos?

eames redux

You guys remember the disgusting old Eames lounger/ottoman I got on ebay...


Seen here on my pink rug with the fabric I planned to put on it - the La Fiorentina I have been obsessed with for years! I have used this fabric in three projects lately - it is the perfect neutral graphic. Look what it did to my lounger!


Do you love it?? I am so happy with how it turned out. I really love changing up a classic piece that people are so used to seeing in leather. It is so different looking, and it makes me happy!
Happy weekend!
