Trim it Up

Don't forget the trimmings. 


I added thick luscious layers of trim to my little ole' chair. Two layers to be exact.  It takes a newly reupholstered chair to a different level.    



I chose a trim with tassles for the bottom layer.  I stapled right on top of the trim to adhere it to the chair. I love the way the tassles hang.



The top layer of trim, which consisted of thick beige loops of chenille and satin was placed so that the loops covered the staples of the bottom trim. The top trim was secured with upholstery tacs. 


Remember the three layers of trim that I put on my sitting room chairs here. The top layer of braid was glued on with E6000 to cover the staples.  



Trim it up!

Have a blessed week.

  2. Hi Ele, I just love it. The trim just completes it off so nicely.
    I was just thinking the other day I needed to add trim to my dining room chairs. Now you have inspired me to get this done before Christmas.
    Have a great week.
    Hugs, Celestina Marie

  7. My goodness! What a brilliant (and relatively easy) way to make a chair look GLORIOUS! I'm very tempted to try that with the chair in MY room. Hmmmm ...!

  10. A wonderful idea ... I have a chair that would look so much better if I applied passementerie to it as you have to your chair! I'm going to have to dig through my vintage trim, see what I can come up with, and follow your lead. :-)

  11. Ele, have missed seeing your beautiful creations and the chairs are gorgeous. The Tablescape for your mom's birthday was awesome. You do things with such ease. I have dial up, so it's hard to visit everyone in one day, but at least I am back online. Hugs, Pat

  12. I never thought about layering the fringes like that. And I do a lot of chairs. It is quite picturesque. I love chairs, you did a impressive job. Magnifique! Ciao Bella.

  14. You have a talent! A real talent for decorating. Love the trim. It sure does add the perfect touch to a pillow and piece of furniture or drapes!

    Have a nice evening.
