| I have never actually had the | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | leif ericson - Zephyr Renner | General discussion | |
| I have never actually had the pleasure of disassembling one of these with the original upholstery. Only ones poorly redone. So I've always just hand stitched the backs on there. (They had been redone with the metal toothed fold over flex strips, not sure of the proper name). In my case I did not use any cardboard as I didn't know, just a bit of cotton batting underneath and stitched the back on. Leather would be harder to hand stitch, but I've been upholstering a lot in leather lately, and it really is not so hard to work with, and the result is very worth ... | |||||

| ... in to orangey-yellow sand that gets all over everything. It cannot be revived once this happens. It also doesn't compress, if that's what you mean--not the way urethane foam does from someone sitting on the same end of the sofa for years. It's way more resilient than urethane foam, which is why it's so comfortable. I recommend this out-of-print book (but still easy to find) on upholstering---very clear drawings and instructions, very well organized and easy to follow. I learned the craft from it a long time ago and still refer to it when i get some weir ... | |||||
| I would get a few new slate | 1 Relevance | 10 years ago | Spanky | General discussion | |
| I would get a few new slate tiles and see what different strippers do to the slate. It's very porous (which is why it feels so good on bare feet) so citrus-based strippers might not be good because I think they have oil in them? I'm not sure. My daughter's floor is not slate but flagstone, which is a harder rock. She has a young kid and didn't want me to use anything that would leave fumes in the air for long---I think it was winter so windows couldn't be left open? I tried this stuff and it worked pretty well- http://liftoffinc.com/spray-paint-graffiti ... | |||||
| It's not the worst thing in | 1 Relevance | 10 years ago | Spanky | General discussion | |
| ... story will make you feel better. Years ago when I was still kind of new to upholstering, I got a great 60s sofa to redo for myself. At that time it was still pretty hard to find really good quality MCM fabrics at a discount and I could not afford to pay full price. I settled for a neutral chenille in the local fabric store. Mistake #1. I didn't have a pneumatic stapler and compressor at the time and was still using tacks and a tack hammer---which, nothing wrong with that but it does add a LOT of time. I decided to take some other shortcuts to make up f ... | |||||

| Thanks guys, that definitely helps. I look into the foam blocks. Also, didn't know Home Depot and Lowe's offer cutting services, that'll make this much easier to deal with. | |||||

| Have you seen this page? http://www.danish-lights.com/lyfa/ There are over 100 old ads and maybe some old print catalogs (?) of Lyfa lighting. I didn't see yours in a quick scan but maybe if you look you can find a similar design and the designer's name and go from there. | |||||

| Joshua championship - lol | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | vintageobssesive | General discussion | |
| Joshua championship - lol took a chance. Not much to lose and all indications pointed to Eames (no photos of underside and at that price I didn't even bother to ask). Easy enough to make that money back (if not a bit more), 🙂 Amazake: if it is a hack (which I thought could be the case initially as well) it is extremely well done. The edges where the top of the shell meet the bottom are clean and someone would have to have mad masking skillz to have the edges so cleanly finished all the way around. Cheers. | |||||
| Thanks again to everyone for | 1 Relevance | 10 years ago | pardicity | General discussion | |
| Thanks again to everyone for their help and comments! Especially fastfwd and Mark. The unit is finally back to being fully assembled and I thought you all might be interested in how it looks. You can see I left the lower doors off... they are significantly damaged (see the photos) and I did not want to risk more damage reinstalling them. I also included a photo of the cut out notch from the lower shelf. It's a shame the previous owner didn't take greater precaution with the unit, but I suppose if they had I probably wouldn't be the new owner! | |||||
| Hello guys & gals, | 1 Relevance | 10 years ago | Peruche | General discussion | |
| Hello guys & gals, I know it has been a while.... 1950s Karpen of California lounge chairs.... Found these beauties the other day on Craigslist. Bought them from the son of the original owners. The guys Father had them reupholstered one time during their life but didn't have the wood refinished or the brass sabots & brass accent pieces on the hand rests polished back to life. They are in desperate need of refurbishment, but the bones are all there for her rebirth. The guy/son that owned them had hired a so called professional interior designer who was t ... | |||||

| ... gotten a lot of pale brown stains from I guess drips of water that I didn't notice that sat too long. It is waterproof but you still have to be super careful about drying it if there are drips. Also, the first week I had it, I was mixing up some TSP in the sink in preparation for cleaning the slate floor prior to sealing, and a single drop got onto the counter and stripped the Waterlox off completely. Someday, if I ever get around to it, I will strip the counters completely and just put mineral oil on them. Lots of people love it, though. Just not me. | |||||

| ... times intermittently and works fine. Hazelnut, I'm surprised (and glad) putting your rug in the washer didn't felt it... Maybe the combination of heat and agitation? I have a prized Avoca knit mohair double sized bedspread that was fine the first few times I cleaned it... I guess I got carried away, but the last time I let it agitate in the washer longer and it definitely shrank. It wasn't a catastrophe, only about 4 inches, but I don't think I can ever block it out myself. | |||||
| powbum was kidding around. | 1 Relevance | 10 years ago | Spanky | General discussion | |
| powbum was kidding around. It's just an American-made slat bench, pretty common, not terribly valuable but popular with people who like the look but can't afford the George Nelson slat bench. I hope you didn't pay much for it in that condition! Hopefully the joints are sturdy. These often get wobbly in their old age. I'd strip the finish and ebonize it with India ink for a cleaner look. The wood species isn't all that gorgeous in my opinion, but I also love how a black table or chair looks in a room. I happened to find one that someone painted black--- ... | |||||

| Dang Tyler...pretty good 8^) and thanks Peruche for the advise. I pulled of the dust cover and didn't see anything, then I felt up inside and felt a piece of paper still stapled, you couldn't even see it..it was on the back side of the frame...I could tell when I was pulling it of that it wasn't much of a tag and I crossed my finger for a clue...lucky! Thanks for the help! So Selig from 1968 | |||||
