I'm doing my best.....
2017 was a busy and action packed year.
I look back on all the furniture makeovers and inventory that I have had and sold
(and have traveled through my house!)
and it completely blows my mind.
I'm a mini-factory!!!!!!!!
So here, at long last,
is another round of eclectic reupholstery projects I thought you might enjoy:
I'll show you how they started,
and how they looked after my makeover.
BEFORE:
Nasty old chair and ottoman.
AFTER: Chair
After totally gutting and rebuilding,
I used old drapes and a duvet cover to reupholster.
I LOVE the curved front/back of this piece.
And the curve of the arms.

After a rebuild from the springs up,
I used a pillowcase topper on this one.
