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.

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      By Angelina · Posted

      Anyone can deliver for Evri - my daughter having just passed her driving test tried Evri to make some money - they basically give you a route and as many parcels as they think you can cope with - you make money for each one you deliver, so you can imagine - speed is the priority. Why would they wait for you to answer the door when they can just throw it and take a photo? If you have a choice, choose a different courier service or shop elsewhere where they do.

      Boil - it’s the customer’s fault, not the delivery person’s.

      Promo counter/ trade-show stand wanted for community art project.

      By Lillo · Posted

      A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
