That Vonanda Sofa Base can transform with an ottoman for a bed, from a chair to a lounger,
or can be transformed in many ways by changing the color and
accessories, as is typical for most Ottomana. However, that is not all
that is available for transforming this unique piece of home furniture.
The best way to preserve the beauty and durability of this item is to
follow the basic instructions that are given below. The tips given will
not require any special tools, except a hammer. The measurements given
will be a bit long, so you might have to shorten them if you are
planning to use them on a different item.
First, the base is
made of the powder-coated steel, and should be dried completely before
you start to work on it. You can finish it either by hanging it up in
the sun, or putting it in a dry place, so that it can dry completely.
When it is completely dried, you can start to work on cleaning it. Put a
thick layer of sand in a sieve or filter and slowly pour cold water,
and gradually pour water that is mixed with any detergent, into the
sieve. Be sure that the water does not come into contact with the steel.
Now you have filtered the water, you can start to clean the steel with a
soft cloth. Use a mild steel polish. Do not use a steel cleaner or
steel polish. This will produce poisonous fumes. If you have more steel
than you can use, just cut it into thin slices and store it in a glass
jar. When the design you want to make is finished, you can simply take a
slice and put it on the base in the desired pattern.
After the
base is dry, you can start to work on painting it. If you are planning
to use the sofa, then you can simply line it up in the middle with a
huge metal ruler. Do not point the ruler at the middle of the sofa, but
at the floor. This will help you to mark the floor. After marking the
floor, you can now cut a hole in the base of the sofa for the cable. To
do this, hold the base of the sofa with your hands and point the ruler
so that the hole goes exactly into the hole you just cut. When you have
done this, you can now insert the sofa base into the hole in the base of
the sofa.
Then you can paint the base of the sofa in a color that matches the color of the sofa.
The
next thing to do is to cover the base of the sofa with satin. There are
two ways of doing this, either you can use two linens, put them onto
the base of the sofa and fasten the sofa to the base of the sofa with
metal ties or hooks. There is no definite rule for this, as each one is
an individual choice. When you fasten the sofa to the base of the sofa,
it will help you to prevent the sofa from sliding around, as the ties
will hold the sofa in place.
After the satin has been dried
completely, you can now start to paint the sofa. The preferred color is
white. If you prefer another color, you can paint it on the sofa, but
you should paint it over the satin so that the color will be reflected
in the corners of the sofa.
After the paint dries completely, you
can attach cushions to the sofa. One the cushions are attached, you can
fold the back of the cushion and attach it to the sofa. You can then
tape the cushion edges, so that it will not slip off the sofa.
Last,
you can attach drapes. Do this by using two matching towels and looping
the towels around the sofa frame. Do not thread the towels directly
onto the sofa frame. This is because, when you are looping the towels,
the threads will form loops, and these loops will attach onto the frame.
If you do this, you will end up with lopsided drapes.
The above
instructions are the basics of building your own Sofa frame. If you
want, you can always make more changes in the color and material of the
sofa, so that you will be able to create a lopsided, or an even ones.
You can also make a sofa using different parts, which will allow you to
adjust the placement of the cushions. There are also many online sites
that give step-by-step instructions on how to make a sofa. Check them
out if you want to see how it is done.
