Make the world a softer place...

As a fabric junkie, I am thoroughly on board with upholstering anything and everything.

Chair seat AND frame? Yes, please.


as seen on Coco+Kelley

Headboard AND night stand? Lovely. (I'm dying to try this myself. It can't be too hard, right?)

P.S. A big shout out to the biggest LGN supporter around. Happy birthday, Daddy. I love you.

    Jenny, how do you think you would make the nightstand? I saw a picture once of an upholstered Queen Anne console/sofa table with nailheads and almost died, it was so pretty. But I couldn't figure out how one would even start trying to upholster a solid wood piece. I googled a bit but didn't come up with anything. I'm not sure how you would deal with so many edges and nooks and crannies and whatnot.

    Love this Jenny. I did this on a dresser having seen a pale beige linen on a Thomasville dresser. I used all mode podge and you can poly or vanish of the top for a real seal.

    This post spoke to me, as well, all your posts do. But this one in particular. I love all things upholstered. Fantastic idea with the chair!

    I saw an upholstered bookcase in a catalog a while back (I think it was designed by Thomas O'Brien...?) and fell in love. I want it....it was gorgeous
