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

Should speed limits be lowered to make roads safe?

Katie Townshend Reporter from The Nelson Mail

Eight options for lowering speed limits across Nelson-Tasman are heading out for consultation after a series of meetings by both local councils.

The proposed changes could see urban roads with limits of 30kph outside schools, and 40kph in school neighbourhoods, some town centres, and streets without separated cycle facilities. In rural areas, it could mean 30 to 60kph outside schools, 60kph in residential areas, and 80kph limits for high risk roads. What's your view - do speed limits need to drop?

This week's Nice Neighbours are Matt, Amelie and Jireh Rudich of Papakura. They were nominated by Yolanda Schuller.

On Yolanda's birthday, her husband had a major heart attack. They had an entire day planned, but then life threw a spanner into the works.

Yolanda asked Amelie to feed her cat, Koda, but Amelie's family went over and above. They cooked dinners two nights in a row and sent yummy treats during the tough time.

“I was really touched by their love, prayers and generosity. They are amazing. I couldn’t wish for better neighbours,” said Yolanda.

Nominate a Nice Neighbour you know, and they could be recognized on Stuff (and you both win a prize!).

When? Saturday 9 December from 2 - 4.30pm
Where? Room K105 NMIT (upstairs in K block,10 Alton St)

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights was adopted by the United Nations on 10 December 1948, in response to the “barbarous acts which […] outraged the conscience of mankind” during the Second World War.
The list of 30 human rights provide the foundation for freedom, justice and peace in the world, and form the basis of international human rights law.

If you can't join us on Saturday, visit Amnesty International's website, and sign letters there. See:
