Vintage sofa from an old chest
To date, the chest in the interior - the subjectquite rare, but capable of giving the room a little vintage mood. Although if you think that such a decor is too old-fashioned, then there is a more interesting and practical application for an old wooden chest. We offer to make a small sofa with very unusual upholstery of soft pillows from our old chest! So, you found trash on the grandmother's dacha and wonder what to do from the old chest found. Put it in order, clean it well, remove the old paint and polish, paint again, or paint with patterns. Of course, the appearance of the chest can be left as it is, with all the time marks, then the sofa will turn out antique, antique, and this style can get out of the general interior design of the room or veranda. Think in advance, where there will be a new "old" sofa and with what to combine.
For this project, remove the lid and cut out the front wall of the chest, leaving the margins off the edges.
From the thick sheets of fiberboard make the lining of the seat and back from the old trunk.
Pillows can be taken from the old sofa, orderor do it yourself. The highlight of this project is a very unusual choice of material for upholstery - bicycle cameras! From a distance it seems that the sofa is leather, although these are just cut and sewn cameras. In terms of practicality, the cover from the bicycle chambers will last a very long time, but in the hot weather, it will be unpleasant to sit on such a sofa, because in fact the seat is rubber.
For convenience and mobility to the bottom of the chest-chest, attach the wheels, large enough and strong, to withstand the weight of the chest, and the weight of seated people.
