I took on this lovely plum velvet couch as an upholstery project with a friend, who is a trained upholsterer. We have fully stripped out the bottom section of it, put in new webbing, re-sewn the springs in, strung the springs together, sewn them to the hessian layer and woven in a lot of coir. We also filled in all the old nail holes with wood filler.


What's left is adding in another bag of coir, securing the hessian and wadding and securing it. I already have the wadding, which will come with the couch.


There is rattan on the arms, which is damaged on both sides. I have been given a quote of ?150 to get it repaired, as I wouldn't have been able to do it myself.


There is also a small tear on the left hand side of the back of the couch (see photo).


The arms of the couch have some lovely carving on the top and the feet are curved, with some scuffing to the bottom (see photo).


Colour-wise, the second photo (where you can see the full couch and the hessian below) is the accurate colour.


Unfortunately, circumstances for both me and my friend have changed recently and I need to pass the couch on to someone who has space to finish the job. The back of the couch and the cushions are in very good condition, as is the velvet - it was just the webbing had gone underneath.


This is obviously an offer for an upholsterer, an upholsterer-in-training, or someone who wants to try and finish it. Once it's done it will be a beautiful couch and, if you choose to sell it, should make a good price.


If you any questions, feel free to get in touch.

      Decision 2 April - Proposed Development - The Sidings, Railway Rise, SE22

      By Dogkennelhillbilly · Posted

      The private sector is not going to build a significant amount of social housing. Everyone is very keen for *everyone else* to subsidise construction of social housing. I take it none of the objectors to this scheme was suggesting putting up council tax so Southwark could build more social housing...? Social housing isn't going to appear in serious numbers if the state doesn't borrow money and build it.

      Tesla at Belair House

      They must be really desperate to collab with Tesla. Honestly, it's not even the worst thing they've done. I've noticed these sex events happening in the last few months at a place that's supposed to be a restaurant and venue. I was planning my wedding there and was appalled by the setup for those events. When I discovered what was going on, I was disgusted by how they were using the same rooms as 'playrooms' where families are supposed to eat. The hygiene and safety concerns are just unacceptable. We really need to come together as a community to put a stop to this! They're destroying a sacred, Grade II listed building, and it's just not right. The owners need to be held accountable for their actions. It's time for us to stand up and protect our heritage and ensure that these spaces are used appropriately, especially when they should be serving families and the community.   sex events vid.mp4 sex events videe.mp4 Literally promoting it on their Instagram! Only just taken down after scrutiny.

      Anyone experiencing even greater issues securing a GP appointment with Tessa Jowell GP practice?

      By trinidad · Posted

      yes, which properly explains why they responded to me on this occassion, as i included the CQC in my response. I have spoken to the Health Ombudsman, and they feel the regulator is more suited to the issues I have raise for more than a year now. welcome aboard. its great to have you on the thread. so sorry you are also experiencing issues. has this been addressed as yet?

      Tbh most Tesla owners are people who are concerned about the environment and have purchased accordingly- but mr nut job has soured their purchasing- so I actually sympathise with them being associated with such an awful man. But to actively promote the company given the knowledge we now know about him makes utterly unacceptable.
