Brea's Reupholstering Pictures

 

I made two sets of cushions (top and bottom) for the couch. One with the pattern fabric (the same fabric the entire couch is reupholstered in) and a metallic linen and natural duck cloth which is featured below. All I had on my phone with the pattern cushions was a picture of half the couch. You can zoom in and see some of the nail head trim around the arm. The nail head trim is also at the top of the couch behind the cushions, at the bottom, and sides but you can't see it in the picture. I will try to take more pictures later.

My headboard. (my bed wasn’t made in this pic...sorry :)) There is nail head trim around the boarder which is about 2 inches in from the actual sides and the padding inside the trim sticks out about an inch higher than the boarder to create more depth. I will try to take more pictures of what I am talking about.
 

These are also two chairs I bought at a garage sale. They were in terrible condition so I sanded them and painted them and made a cushion for them. This project only took me about two hours so it was really easy. They are in my office at work :)
I am excited that you all are interested in seeing my stuff! I have never had a lot of viewers since they are my own items and I didnt post them online. I hope you all like them! I also have a few other chairs and I actually have two church pews that I repainted and reupholstered and they are used as my seating for my dining room table. You can say I am for sure obsessed with reupholstering. Everything in my house I bought at a garage sale and repainted or reupholstered myself. I loving having items that mean something to me personally throughout my house and my blood, sweat and tears are no joke literally in all of these items. haha

  1. What fun so glad you shared.. I agree that having items in your house that have meaning are important. People seem to get very caught up in the trends. Then fashion and quantity becomes an obsession. I have a form of that where books are concerned. I have items that are inherited so have the sentimental value and memories attached make me keep and enjoy them. One is a ridiculously large coffee table that I got for $25. It is so sturdy the whole family can dance on it and the girls did growing up. I am actually ready to let it go but can't yet, as my children have told me in no uncertain terms not to get rid of it.
