A Sofa Like No Other
Another resale find from the Brown Elephant in Oak Park. This sofa set is straight out of the 50’s, and HUGE! The large sofa is over 9 feet long, the settee over 5. The old fabric is such a throwback! We thought it would be easier to get it recovered here in the US so it will be ready for service once we set up chateau in France. With a dusty blue upholstery linen from Fishman’s Fabric in Chicago & the work done by Elite Upholstery in Oak Park, these old, solid, well-built sofas will have a fancy new life. In order to add a bit of panache, before Elite got to work, they graciously let me use their workroom to paint the wood a soft, burnished gold. I opted for something subtle to go with the fabric & am really happy with the result. I look forward to all of the guests who will sit on them & the cocktails & good times that will be shared.
