Projects I've been working on

I've been super busy lately with different projects, Here they are

-Custom making a karate belt rack

-painting a toddler bed

-Upholstering a 50's couch, literally from the 50's or 60's (they used a lot of burlap)

I have one picture of the karate belt rack.It's a little blurry from my phone and it has glass, so you have the glare from that.

Here is the couch that I'm working on, I'm just waiting to get the fabric! Can't wait to see how it turns out!!!

toddler bed picture will come soon!!!

New pillows for my sofa

Remember these that I made a few months back?

Well I decided to change them up a little bit

so here are my new throw pillows

I love them!

sorry about the spot on the couch. My kids got to it before

I took the picture. Now I need to wash the seat cushion again! lol

What do you think about the change?

Table Runner

Have you ever wondered how to make a table runner? Well, I have just completed one and I'm ready to show and tell!

My wonderful client wanted a table runner to match her awesome chairs and so of course I said it wouldn't be a problem and went to work (This was after I finished the chairs)

Here is a little drawing to show you the size it needed to be

After I cut out the top and bottom portion I began pinning the piping  in between the top and bottom, inside out. Here is a picture to show you

Once I did that, I then put it back right side in and folded the bottoms to make a point. then sewed it together. Sorry I don't have a picture of that part. I think overall, it was  a pretty simple project and my clients loved it!

And here it is again! Doesn't it look awesome???

Blue Seat Cushions

About a month ago I was able to sale my Blue Club Chair to a friend of mine and because of this beautiful chair, she wanted me to do her dining room seat cushions in the same fabric. I have to admit that I love this fabric because it is so easy to work with. It's just suede but it's fantastic!!!!
Anyway, here is the before and after

I love it!!!

Gorgeous Dining Room Chairs

These are my client's dining room chairs. They wanted to do two different types of fabric and I think they did a awesome job picking out the colors. The table is a set of eight, this is the first chair. I will be posting when I finish the other 7. Comments would me wonderful!

Office Chairs

These were done for a client that wanted to use them for her office. When she bought them they didn't come with a board bottom so I had to start from scratch. Here are the results, pictures of chairs at the office will follow soon! :)

I love that it looks like a whole new chair and my client LOVED it!!!!!

Wing Chair

This has been a month in the making!!!! When I first started this project I didn't know that I was going to run into problems. Many lessons learned but I'm finally pleased with the results. So true story....took 9 hours to take off all of the original fabric and it took a total of 3 days stretched out in a 3 week period to finish. make sense?
Lesson one learned: listen to other people that have reupholstered! I read a post from All Things Thrifty about leaving the original fabric on the arms of the chair. I however took mine off and had a WONDERFUL time trying to get it back one. again, lesson learned. Next came the cushion seat. I swear that was going to be the death of me. But I finally got it taken care of and I think it looks pretty good. So some wonderful comments would be soooooo appreciated!!! Thank you! now enjoy the fruits of my labor!

Beautiful Black and blue chair

I think I've loved this the most out of all the furniture transformations I've done. I saw a post from All Things Thrify about tufting and always wanted to do one, Then I found this baby! It was a lot of work trying to figure out how to take apart and put back together and I ran into some obstacles, but managed to pull through. I think I'm going to be using this chair to take some pictures of my kids before I sell it. Comments would be wonderful!
