FRENCH STYLE 3-4 SEATER SOFA & ARMCHAIR carved & metal studs needs re-upholst.

Jan from Nelson South

FRENCH STYLE 3-4 SEATER SOFA & ARMCHAIR carved legs & metal studs [needs re-upholstering]

Purchased in Europe, but now relegated to the garage. Rescue this lovely suite and breathe new life into it. Hence some photos are of the whole lounge and others taken in storage.

Comfortable to sit, lounge or lie on, it has been used as a spare bed when needed as well. The first image of the lounge, shows the edge of the lounge suite, but without its cushions for some odd reason. They are available as well and included in the price.

Measurements:
Chair: H 82cm; W 75cm; D 80cm
Sofa: L 2metres; D 80cm; H 82cm. 3 cushions, widths are 52cm at each end and 62cm in the middle.

Elegantly restrained carved legs. Good for a shabby chic finish or french provincial interior.

Interior upholstery still in good condition, made with durable materials, but the velour on the fabric has worn off. The base fabric is still strong and sturdy. The upholstery is a draylon or man made equivalent to look like velvet. The armchair is in better condition. The fabric is threadbare along the back top of the sofa and on the arm. There is a dark stain on the inside of one arm. We don't smoke but had a lap dog at the time. It doesn't smell.

Pick up in central Nelson at the top of Collingwood St.

Price: $330

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️

The Team from SPCA New Zealand

It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:

👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️

Worst Xmas ever?

There's a a lot of planning that goes into Christmas day and sometimes things just don't go to plan. But it can be a good thing - a family mishap or hilarious memory that you can laugh about in Christmases to come.

Whether you burnt the dinner or were stranded at an airport...
