Victorian Sofa

I have been looking for a Victorian sofa to go with our chairs forEVER!     I have seen a few at the antique stores,  but they were pretty pricey so I didn't buy them.   One of the yard sales last Saturday had one listed in their newspaper ad,  so I went by there before we left for the auction.

It was just what I had been looking for,  and the price was right,  so we loaded her
up and brought her home

She looked pretty everywhere we sat her.....

but,  we finally decided to put her in the small dining room.

H painted the dark wood a cream color to match the chairs in the dining room.

The upholstery was in excellent condition.......no stains or worn spots....in fact it looked like it had hardly ever been set on.

A perfect place to sit in the sun,   have a cup of tea,  and do a little reading!

We rearranged the dining room to give it a more informal look.....

The table was running north and south before....now it is running east and west.    This is the only photo I could find (I was in a hurry)  it is showing a before and after of the chandy.

When the kids come over Sunday,   I thought we could sit here for and informal tea party in the afternoon....

just visit....

have a glass of iced tea....

maybe look thru.....

some old photos.....

and have a wonderful Easter afternoon!

I want to wish you and your family a blessed Easter!
