retro redo

While looking at one of the many decorating magazines that I get I noticed a curved back sofa that "I loved".
I "wanted" that sofa. I looked in every furniture store in Tulsa. NO luck! Until I went into the Retro Den on 15th. There she was! All she needed was something new to wear. She was screaming 70's. When my hubby and son Paul went to pick her up Paul told hubby "I hope it's not the ugly one in the window. Of course it was. They both thought I had lost my mind.
 He was embarressed to have her ride in the back of the pickup.

I could see beyond her flaws and she had that beautiful curved back. One down one to go.

 We have room for 2 sofas. A trip into Snow's consignment scored me this one for $100. She was made in the 40's and when the material came off the back the foam had turned to dust. She was more than ready for some tender loving care.

 I already knew what she was going to wear. I'm thinking animal print.

Aren't they BEAUTIFUL? The amazing Beller's did the 70's sofa. I could not believe the differance. The other went to a lady in Sand Springs ( I needed them both completed before the upcoming shower) The work on the cheetah is no where near Beller's work. This was her first sofa to recover. I did not know this until 3 days ago. Not bad for the first time but I see a few things that bug me. Beller's are pro's and do amazing work.
 The hubby has yet to see them. He has been out of town. They were delivered just in time for the bridal shower. He will be happy to finally have a sofa to lounge on. We have been sitting on chairs and even borrowed a few to get by. But let's face it is there anything better than napping on the sofa?
