New addition

I have a friend who also enjoys upholstery work. She brought this retro couch last week only to find she couldn't store it anywhere. They are bigger and heavier than they look!  She knows I love those Night-and-Day sofas so has offered it to me. YES! I can't say no to these beauties.
Thanks darl. x

New Pieces

As if I don't have enough to go on with, I've picked up a few more items this weekend from someone having a clean out.

Pine Queen Headboard

Morgan style retro armchair

New Additions to my store room...

I'm trying hard to work through the stuff in my storage unit, but every time I finish something I get two more pieces in its place! Here are a few recent finds this week...

Retro arm chair, missing its original sponge but the springs are all intact, yay.
I will not be replacing the wooden arm trays...

Totally awesome right!! LOVE THIS.
My husband found this in the kerbside rubbish collection!
The front right leg needs a small repair, otherwise its in excellent 
structural condition.

Ca 1940s armless sprung chair. Very heavy this sucker!
When I took off the bottom dustcover to look at the condition of the springs,
out fell a 1947 Austrailian Half Penny! :)
I still have some lovely rasberry pink fabric which I've used previously on an armless chair, so this might be just the ticket for this one too.  

My daughter found this on her travels and brought it home.
She used to bring stray pets home... now its furniture. YES!

Just some plain jane chairs needing a bit of flare.
These don't actually have any seats. The blue seat I placed on to 
tested for size but they were too small. My handy
hubby will have to cut some new ones.... :)

New addition

I was given this totally cool rocker yesterday. It has a spring mechanism on the back, so when you sit down it rocks. I'm going to an evening class for upholstery soon so this one might be my project chair!

New Pieces

A few more items have been added to my storage room today.

Mid Century armchair

4 x matching dining chairs

Work-In-Progress

1960s Sofa Bed & Armchair

I brought these two pieces separately. The couch was from Glenbrook and the chair was from Mt Roskill. I plan to upholster them as a matching lounge set. I wish oh wish I had a second matching chair, but hey when you're refurbishing vintage furniture you take what you get!

BEFORE
1960s Night-and-Day AirRest Sofa Bed

The couch had a small area of wood damage to the base. This was removed and a brand new piece of identical wood was cut & shaped to fit. It was an excellent repair job by Handy Hubby. He also stripped the fabric off for me (always appreciated). It is currently sitting on my patio waiting to be upholstered, but I need to wait until I sell two more items to make some room. I have already upholstered one of these Sofa-Bed couches before so I have a fair idea of how to tackle this one more successfully.
