  • Hi. Now that my living room is painted I need to furnish it. I don't have the budget to buy a sofa so I am going to make it from scratch. Take a look and let me know what you think.

    Hi Melrose. Your sofa looks great 👍🏾. I would put some felt pads under the legs of the sofa to stop it from scratching the paint off the floor.

    • @MelroseLewis
      @MelroseLewis  Před 11 měsíci

      Great idea!! Will do thanks for that.

    Melrose, well done! It's lovely and looks like a great place to take a nap after a long day making furniture and working in the garden!!!! Also, I was wondering if Barbados has any charity or thrift shops?

    • @MelroseLewis
      @MelroseLewis  Před 11 měsíci +1

    • @MelroseLewis
      @MelroseLewis  Před 10 měsíci

      Hi. I bought the wood from Marshalls, which cost just under 200 dollars, the foam was the most expensive which cost around 600 dollars and the fabric was on sale for just over 150. The build cost just over 1000 dollars. Its the best thing I have built so far. Thanks for watching.

    • @MelroseLewis
      @MelroseLewis  Před 10 měsíci

      Oh sorry the foam was bought from the Foam shop in Bridgetown. fabric from Abeds, in Bridgetown.

      @MelroseLewis  Před 11 měsíci

      No way LOL!!! Im just an DIYer out of necessity. Once I have made all that I need I'm done. I miss working in my garden.

      @MelroseLewis  Před 11 měsíci

      No I'm just doing this to furnish my home. Once I have everything that I can make I'm done...I will help build stuff for my sister's place if she needs me to.
