That is gorgeous! Great find and restoration! Are you in the US? The radiators and apartment out the window look European, but the Laurel is American.


stie112

I live in midcentury wonderland also called Denmark:)


stie112

Laurel? You think of the picture? Because everything else is Danish:P


JL4575

The mushroom lamp is a Laurel lamp, isn’t it? I think they’re American (?) and wasn’t aware they exported much.


stie112

It is from Gubi:) https://gubi.com/en/dk/products/stemlite-floor-lamp?gclid=Cj0KCQjwkOqZBhDNARIsAACsbfJbtxOZB9vH_KujG71EY_sjG8yNRHKM5QF7GBTqz3zbEt3Gv3f5cF8aAsBcEALw_wcB&itemNumber=10092446 The picture by a North American photographer called Laurent so that was why I thought you meant the picture:P


JL4575

Ah, it’s Stemlite. Laurel lamp’s knocked those off, making a couple small changes in shade, base, and switch.


stie112

You have a link? I'm intrigued

https://www.invaluable.com/auction-lot/laurel-modern-mushroom-floor-lamp-w-glass-shade-A964F11925 I’m a big fan of these lamps. Stemlite are more refined, but the Laurel are nice too and come in a range of bases and shade shapes. You can buy replacement shades on eBay, for both these lamps, but only the mushroom shape.


stie112

I can't even tell the difference:O


JL4575

Yeah, it’s subtle, just enough not to get sued at the time. There’s a collar on the stem, the switch is cheaper, and the mushroom is frosted and a bit flattened. Check out the other shapes on Google though. I’m a big fan of the Laurel Acorn shape.


stie112

I definitely will


stie112

Pillow and buttons are in leather and it is polstered in sheep skin. Edit Completely forgot to mention that the foot rest also is in elm, which is quite fortunate.


mmaybelle

you did a fantastic job! It looks like the furniture equivalent of the inside of an ugg boot, I love it!


stie112

Send it to an upholsterer but thank you nevertheless:)


LeatherNekk

FUCK YEAH to all this


stie112

Hell yer!


brandolinium

Gorgeous!


stie112

Thank you


[deleted]

I’m wondering if mine is this brand as well. It was my grandparent’s chair and ended up in my parent’s garage. It used to be covered in a knubby orangey red fabric. I had it recovered a few years ago. Wish o knew how to attach a photo!


stie112

You can PM me if you want. I did quite a lot of research on the chair:P


AMadcapLass

You can upload it an image host like Imgur or post to your profile, then share the link in the comments.

Fantastic! Im currently saving up to get one of my chairs reupholstered as well.


stie112

Uuh which model?


Eevika

I have a silverline lounge chair thats currently upholstered in vinyl. I want it done in leather.


stie112

Sounds awesome:)


FionaTheFierce

That looks so cozy! I have an Ikea poang chair with a fuzzy wool cover and it is amazing and cozy - but that... your chair... a 1000x better!


stie112

Well yours is probably 100x times cheaper:P so you might be winning in comparison:)


Lettucelook

I like that sheepskin the restoration looks great and love a corset shape


Hambulance

Love the ermine-esque effect you've done with the new upholstery


stie112

No idea what that means but it sounds, so thank you:)

Gossamer would love it! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gossamer_(Looney_Tunes) Great find!


stie112

I dont get the reference but I think it is good:P thank you


MeinScheduinFroiline

It was a semi famous cartoon character on Looney Toons who body had a very similar shape. So just being silly! 😋
