I saw this Coca-Cola Razorback tray first....for $1. I bought this for John.
I turned around and spotted this this vintage 1950's Camel back love seat.
The tag said $20. I thought I read it wrong so I asked the sweet old lady if it indeed was for sale for $20. She said, Oh yes dear.....I said, SOLD!
Yes, it was very nasty! But I stepped back and visualized the couch all cleaned up. It could be a beautiful piece. I was so excited to go home and wake up John so he could help me pick it up.
We headed back over to the sale....as we were talking to the two women (mother & daughter) I spotted a chair. I couldn't believe it hadn't sold.....it was waiting for me! :-}
The mother (who is in her 80's) said she has had that chair forever. It has a stamp on the bottom that says, Kemp Furniture. I believe this might be from the 50's or 60's. The seat has been reupholstered.
So John tried to clean the love seat but couldn't get all the stains out with our cleaner. So he called a company and they came out on Wednesday and for $85 he cleaned and treated it with a stain treatment. All the stains came out!!
Not bad for a total of $105!

I did some research and these couches sell for $350-$500. So I think I did really good!

Amazing purchase!! I can't believe how great that sofa looks after just being cleaned up. It really looks like it was reupholstered. Gives me hope that maybe my living furniture isn't a lost cause after all.

Just so you know, your blog background sais Photobucket account inactive and it is very hard to read it. It just says that over and over in the background! I thought I would let you know in case you didn't!
You fixed it : ) No new posts this week? Don't tell me you are busy during the month of December... that is just silly! : )
Can't believe how nice that sofa turned out. You really scored. Good job. Looks great in that room.
