Renewed & Revived

I had to share this feature from the Beam and Anchor (more to follow on them) blog, as it combines a couple of my favourite things - reviving old unwanted furniture to a new and present glory, ace fabric and it is all carried out (of course) in Portland, Oregon - home to a thriving community of Designers, Makers, Recyclers and Creatives. 

Check out the re-upholstery process below that gives new life to an ugly looking sofa previously destined for the junkyard.

The Brooklyn based duo behind Calico wallpaper started making their signature metallic marbled wall prints after being stranded in their apartment for almost a month after Hurricane Sandy. 

So clearly good things can come out of bad... aren't their prints absolutely beautiful?
