Sweet Sofa

 Jan 27, 2010

This old sofa went from stuffy to stunning thanks to some love from Joi at Nuestra Vida Dulce. She found it for $45 on Craigslist and knew she wanted it recovered in white. And, good idea alert: she used indoor/outdoor fabric for superb stain resistance and durability! 

 Check out her blog for the details, AND check out her super cool feature "What's good in your hood," where she trolls the Craiglist postings in different cities and shares her funky finds. Great work Joi!
