Vintage to Glamor

Look for pieces that have good bones. Even if the cover on a sofa looks worn and tired it might be so comfy that you can have a wonderful piece by making a loose cover or having it reupholstered.

If the sofa is solid and has a nice shape you are part way there. If there are inner springs then you need to consider reupholstery rather than a cover that is only cosmetic. Fix the parts that need fixing. You will be quite surprised how well an old piece can become a new treasure.
