Meet Rubie. I die.
If you're like me, about every other woman in your life/neighborhood/gym is preggers. Wouldn't this be THE perfect start to a little girl's nursery? Imagine the design diva she'd grow up to be. AND, you'd really set a great example for reducing your carbon footprint: reclaimed furniture upholstered in 100% organic cotton fabric.
Just read for yourself at
Rubie Green:
"Our upholstery fabrics are made of 100% certified organic cotton, which is whitened without bleach and printed here in the US. We print with water-based, non-toxic inks that contain no volatile organic compounds (VOC’s), and utilize a printing process that minimizes water consumption. In fact, the factory uses only one gallon of water per day! This was an exciting discovery for our team as water plays such an integral role in most other methods of printing. We also wanted to avoid fabric waste so we decided to print only on demand, using heat and pressure to finish our fabrics instead of chemicals."
How cool is that??
Here is the complete transformation.
Pre Strip
As old as horse hair
Tightened the springs, added new webbing, new burlap, rebuilt the arms with new cotton
Finishing touches....
And the big reveal....
I am going to paint the legs to the specifics of the buyer. What do you think? Could that buyer be you?
Ok, off to get lost in the new
Lonny issue. If you haven't read it - GO GO GO!
