Last week was crazy busy for me at work so it was only recently I noticed a lot of hits coming from one particular site – Re-Nest! Which is awesome because I love that blog. So many great ideas for repurposing. Thanks Re-Nest!
It seems my little couch do-over made its way over as a quick & easy project. Taking off the skirt took me about 15 minutes with a good pair of needle-nose pliers and gave the couch a whole new look.
Of course the massive frame reconstruction wasn’t totally free. We used scrap plywood leftover from other projects but spent about $14.35 for 2 additional & 2 replacement legs {from this seller, if you’re interested}. Ok, so it was almost free. Since the couch was only $50 to start and I love the tufting and lines, $64.35 for a couch I love made the effort completely worthwhile.
Check out the entire project here. And thanks for the shout-out, Re-Nest!

Yay! Congrats! I love Re-Nest.
Hooray! I love that sofa!
I used your idea on my $20 identical find (taupe colored) and added nail trim along the original skirt line (to hide the velvet wear). What a transformation! Thanks for the tip
I’ve been meaning to add some nailhead but it just hasn’t moved up the priority list. Love to see pics of yours!! Glad you could use the idea!
Your couch is awesome and definitely deserves the mention on Re-Nest. Taking off the skirting was brilliant–looks so much better. Love the color.
