Natalie Wood

Hello Darlings,
   We wanted to formally introduce our newest sofa piece in our collection, Natalie Wood.  Like many Hollywood stars, she has the perfect figure, with curves in all the right places! She stands at 3'7'', a width of 2'8'', and her length measuring 5'7''. She has a dark brown, mahogany wood frame and is draped with moss colored green fabric with a back rest that is covered with over fifty buttons.


Even though we drove over 400 miles to get her back to our showroom, we were blessed because we did not even have to change anything about it, and only paid $400 (cheaper than any sofa so far!). We were skimming the sofas on Craigslist, (pretty much where we find all our pieces) and happened to find this one up for sale in San Antonio, Texas. We gassed up and made our way towards SPURS Nation, excited to pick up our new addition.


When we got to the seller's house, and saw the sofa in person, we instantly knew this piece was meant for our collection. We love something with good history and this couch had it. The lady who was selling it ( probably in her late 30's) said it belonged to her grandmother, and acquired it after she passed away. She said she remembers it being in her grandma's spare room, covered in plastic, being preserved, for what we think, for us! We promised her it would be in good hands and packed it up and made our way home.

Of course, then came the fun part, finding her name. We scrolled through old Hollywood female actress names and tried to see which one matched our sofa. Since she had a "woods-y" feel to her because of her colors we thought the West Side Story star's name would be fitting.....And just like that, a star was born (haha ok, kind of cliche).

xoxo,
It's Vintage Darling
