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.

Holstein Chair

HE called MY chair redo a Holstein. Are you serious? Darling, have you been farming/ranching a little too much?

The joy of recovering furniture is that you can plan EXACTLY how you want it to look. Yes Dear, I planned the chair to look this way. The cushion can be either white or black, or shall we say Jersey or Angus! Which do you prefer?

This is how the arm chair looked before it was reupholstered. It was covered in golf fabric and resided in a bedroom. This chair has big sturdy arms, yards of upholstery tack, and is comfortable. The logical choice was to reupholster and reuse. Plus, reupholstering cost less then buying new AND I was able to choose the design. The side chair was moved to the main floor family room.

Remember the new chandelier. It has been hung.

Holstein? It just had to be a compliment.

Blessings, Ele
