About what I did with all the fabrics on my table


Hello. I’m sorry that it took so long before I wrote this post. It’s not that I didn’t have anything to write about, I just couldn’t find the time to do it.

A few months ago, a new chair found its way into the living room. Not exactly a new chair, because it belonged to one of the boys. A lovely chair, and it’s great to sit in.

But as you can see; it’s GREY!!!

Not really my style. So I’ve been thinking what to do about that. Just a colourful pillow in it, wasn’t enough. A new cover in a bright colour was a good idea. But, ever since I read about Squint London, I was in love with their style. So this is what I wanted for this chair. The fabrics I showed in my previous post were for this chair.

Not that I had ever done any upholstery ever before; so it was quite a challenge.

And for whom thinks it is a bit too much, I made the seat 2-sided:

This was really a fun project and I’m very happy with the result. Now, instead of a dull, grey little chair, we have a real eye catcher in the room.

Groetjes, Dorien
