A Different Sofa

I couldn't pass her up...she was only $16.99 at the Goodwill Outlet. 

Kind of ugly but with great bones and potential. 

For now she is in the house with a ruffled duvet covering her. I originally was planning to paint her but now with the white duvet I am not so sure.
 

That's the fabric hiding underneath.....now you see why it is hiding!

I really think I love this sofa though.

What would you do with her?

    Wellll, I would personally paint it after I saw what you did with "my stool", but you have great vision and you will figure it out. Looks great the way you have it now though.

    What a wonderful find! I could see this painted in Annie Sloan's "French Linen" and then upholstered in a cream fabric! It truly does have great bones!

    Hmmm, well it looks good as it is, with the duvet on it...but I'm sure you'll come up with something beautiful and creative.

    I'll save you a bottle of honey.

    I love it! U know me ide probably opt to paint t. I would though, when budget allows, have it professionally re-upholstered. The sky is the limit on what u could do with it. $16.99 OMG, i gotta go visit Pattie soon.....Yalls goodwills are awesome! Makes u wonder though why people give away such wonderful things. Glad they do though, lol!

    My mother in law has one very similar and it was made in Italy. I wonder if yours was?

    I like what you have done with it. That ruffled duvet gives it a sense of style, and seeing the original arm rests keeps the old world charm!

    I just discovered your blog, so very nice! And I am IN LOVE with your new sofa. love the shape and style so european. I would recover the cushions and back in a soft burlap and paint the sides, trim, legs in a soft white or lighter cream shade, although it looks like the back cushion is attached so would need to see how to recover it, but it has great bones, what a deal! why can't I find stuff like that?
