Before & After // Gondola Sofa

Ready for a super retro transformation?! 

Chris and his picker buddy, Clayton, found this sofa literally in pieces and left for trash. They saw the potential and picked it up. It's a mid century Adrian Pearsall style sofa, made right here in Portland in 1966 by B.P John. It's always exciting to take on a new project, especially something like this! 

First, Chris and I took off all of the original foam and shredded fabric. We striped it until it was only the frame. It was pretty disgusting dirty, the vacuum was on hand for all the yucky things that came out of it! 

Next, we installed all new foam and fabric. 

This piece was a collaboration between us and our friends, they made the cushions, and I attached the covered buttons. I love how buttons really finish a piece! 

My favorite part about this sofa is it's pretty V shaped legs! So unique! We are loving having this sofa currently in our living room, but will have to give it over to the new owners soon. For sale on Etsy!
