Restoring an Antique Couch | From Grandma to Gothically Glamourous!

Even though I have never upholstered a couch in my entire life, this entire process of restoring and reupholstering this antique couch was very fun and incredibly rewarding. It was an amazing way to hone my creativity and problem-solve during the Corona Virus outbreak. Perfect lockdown project! I loved the design of this couch when I first got it in a thrift store, but I was not content with the ivory fabric, so I set my sights on reupholstering it with red velvet and adding tufting to the backing. It’s now my dream couch. It went from grandma to gothically glamourous! Do you have any guesses as to how old it is? Friends of mine have speculated that it’s from the early Edwardian or late Victorian era. Have you ever restored a piece of antique furniture? What was your experience?
