Nip and tuck; Furniture Reupholstery; Guest

Here is a great little party link I wanted to show you from Allison at Design Life.  It just goes to show what you can do with your existing pieces:

We made some exciting progress in my client’s Sun Room today!

I purchased this new chair at a great price!  Inexpensive enough that we had enough money in our “chair budget” to refinish and reupholster in some fabulous fabric!

and AFTER!

I found this fabulous fabric at Robert Allen and upholstered the seat & inside chair back.  I found a great faux leather for the outside seat back, for an interesting contrast!

I did a French Grey wash on the finish &I love it the new look!

We also decided to add a bit of foam to the seat and back cushion to give it a softer feel.  What a difference it makes!

Oh and have I mentioned how much I adore this lamp I purchased at Global Views? Perfect for the space!

 

My client also had an old sleeper sofa. I had confidence we could find a great fabric and have it reupholstered and bring this baby into 2010!

Sofa AFTER!

  

I think it looks great! I also had my upholsterer (who did a fabulous job!) raise the sofa a few inches to help with the scale of the sofa.  This helps it better relate to the built in seating & tall dining table.

I found this console table on Craigslist for a great price a few days ago.  We’re going to purchase this and revamp it to go behind the sofa!

    

I love a good upholstery job!

Does this make you want to freshen up something in your house?

Thanks Allison for linking up to the party!
