One of my good acquaintance this summer decided to make repairs, besides, old furniture clearly asked for a replacement. For repair, money was found, but no furniture. But when I came to visit her, then besides stylish wallpapers and beautiful tiles in the kitchen, I saw a wonderful new sofa. Knowing that new furniture she did not purchase, I asked Tatiana, where she had this sofa. Her answer was delighted and inspired at the same time.
Alteration of furniture with your own hands
This sofa Tanya did herself, her own hands, and from the old Soviet ruins, which she found at her grandmother in the dacha in the attic. All her alteration took 3 days. She bought material for tangling the sofa, so designer color is determined by a crisis price.
That was her old sofa.
Before the beginning of the alteration, it is necessary to promote this monster on the component parts, commemoratively, what and how fastened.
But it looks like one of the fastening elements.
We disassemble the sofa completely.
Note all the details from the old sofa, except for upholstery. Old upholstery We will replace the new and beautiful.
Then remove the upholstery with the sidewall.
Now we need to sew covers on the sidewalls and put on them in place, pre-wrapped the sidewalls by Sinyprun.
This photo shows an intermediate result.
After we are ready both sidewalls, we go to the alteration of the main body of the sofa.
Further, we go to the preparation of "sandwich" from the foam rubber, syntheps and a piece of fabric for one of the sofa blocks. There are three of them three.
This is how the work process looks like.
We need to make these actions three times.
But the most "beauty" was in the third block.
We naturally send such old elements on the garbage.
Then the wooden parts of the sofa are processed by the skin, repair and put in order some plywood parts sold from time.
After the wooden parts are ready, go to the creation of soft layers of the sofa.
We continue to act on the previously developed plan: fabric, foam rubber, syntheps, stapler, brackets, hammer.
This is how the process of fastening the foam rubber and synthesis looks like.
After strengthening the soft layers of the sofa, we turn to the abundance of the upholstery cloth.
Then proceed directly to the sofa assembly itself.
We fasten all the details of the future updated upholstered furniture.
Voila, our sofa is completely ready!
Tip:
Before starting the removal of old upholstery and trim, the external wooden sofa parts should be examined. In case they formed any damage or defects, they need to be eliminated. Moreover, when a short damage is made, it can be done, not even disassembled furniture.
For more serious damage, such as chips and cracks, you will need to purchase putty in the construction store for a tree corresponding to the tone of furniture, and gently apply it to small portions to the place of damage.
