Found this danish modern daybed yard saling for $5!!!! It was in really poor shape!!! Sanded the frame, added new hardware to make a super solid, as well as new webbing. Used a satin finish on the frame and steam cleaned the cushions. Pretty sweet now it's done. :)

We had a set like this the year we lived in Brooklyn (1973) It's missing a square side table and another daybed, the same size, with an off centered back, that would be pushed under the table forming an L shape. If I remember correctly, ours was dark blue.
This is just fabulous. Love it.
Thanks! It's actually comfortable too. :)
Great job! I love that you saw the potential! It's beautiful!
Thanks so much vasunshine!
Just gorgeous!
Wow, love it!
