Thanks for all your ideas and comments on my front door. I loved the thought of painting it black with all the black trim I have around the home but every time I go out there to get ideas I change my mind. I will be sure to post the final look here.
Now I thought I would share some more photos of my lovely french sofa. Many of you might have seen this before but it would have to be one of my most favourite finds.
I purchased this over three years ago and rescued it from being tossed at the tip.
I saw it and couldn't believe my eyes. Now I did leave it there, went home and thought about it and phoned the guy up and told him to put it aside for me. I mean what was I thinking leaving it there.
Some white denim and a good upholstery job later this is the end result. Upholstery NOT done by me but a little old man that does a lovely job.
Not sure if its a reproduction or an original but going by this old fabric I would say its an old piece for sure.
Hope you all have a great day.

Wow, love the lounge. I also have an old frenchy lounge waiting to be done up but not sure if I should paint the timber trim and whether to have a go at reupholstery it myself or not. I think it may be too big a job as I have 2 arm chairs aswell. Looking at yours I'm loving the timber look and you did an excellent job at recovering! What a find at the tip! take care,Maryann
Aha..yep..thats it...this is my favourite of all your DIY jobs hands down Sandy...I adore this louis sofa...looks stunning...be sure to not hide the gorgeous tufted backing Sandy...way too beautiful to be hidden behind large sofa cushions..love it!! x
Okay, that upholstery job is AMAZING! Love, love love!!!

What a fabulous find and transformation Sandy. You were so lucky to have spotted it and for it to have still been there when you rang back! It was meant to be yours! xx
Isn't it nice to be complemented on your upholstery skills Sandy;o)
It certainly is a beautiful piece of furniture and must be the score of the decade. I don't know if any of us could top that! I agree with Anna..don't hide those buttons.

I bet you just felt sick in the stomach before you rang back for fear of it not being there....definetly meant to be a keeper, cheers Katherine
Absolutely beautiful Sandi, what a find and what a restoration job.
That is an amazing transformation. It's good that you could see the potential and rescued it. What a shame it would have been to be decaying in a tip.
Thank goodness it was still there for you - You would be kicking yourself otherwise. It looks fabulous!
Just a word of thanks to you for rescueing and reviving all of these lovelies that would have ended up in a landfill. You do great work and I love your website.
Hi Sandy, First of all I want to wish you a belated Happy Birthday, and I think your blog is looking great.
I am so glad you decided to get the couch because this is one good looking babe! Great transformation!!
Have a Wonderful Day*
Hola Sandy, absolutely wonderful and charming transformation!!!! And all the work you do on furniture is so great.

Greetings from Chile,

Sandy,
This is a beautiful job!
What a place to take in daily dreams and creative thoughts on that restyled sofa. The white fabric is perfect for the room and the euro charm of it.
I will see you soon, can't wait to see whats next!
