Slipcovering a Patrik Chair?
I have IKEA’s Patrik as my desk chair. I still like it and it’s comfortable, but I’d like to change the color. I think having it reupholstered would probably be too expensive, so I thought a slipcover could be a good solution.
Do you think it would be too hard to do though? […]
The Wallpaper is Here!
It’s so pretty.
It looks good with the pink upholstery fabric I bought on eBay too. I’m going to put white curtains up instead of ivory, and I think the rug could stay (for now at least).
I was going to paint the ceiling the same color as the living room, but I don’t think it […]
Four New Dining Room Ideas
These are my latest ideas…
The constants throughout all four designs are the ivory curtains (from Crate & Barrel, now discontinued), the lighting fixture (from west elm), the dining table and chairs (vintage, from Jubilee Furniture), and the wood trim and floors in our home. Also, I may edge the curtains with a coordinating solid […]
Ritzy Stripe Chair
I upholstered one chair as a test in Amy Butler’s Ritzy Stripe fabric.
It looks great, but I’m not sure what to do for the rest of the room. Creamy white walls and a green ceiling? A green rug?
Photos of Drew Barrymore’s Flower Films offices (in the April ‘08 issue of Domino) have been […]
A Collar “Cozy”
I made something stupid for Murray this afternoon.
What’s that boy? Yes, it does look silly.
I sewed a little scrap of fabric into a sort of neckerchief…
And then I closed the middle up and inserted the collar.
Now it’s a collar cozy.
I figured it would be better than the plain black collar Murray’s been wearing, which […]
Amy Butler Fabric in the Dining Room
Looks pretty good.
Ritzy Stripe (the zigzags) on the chairs, and Primrose (the other fabric) for curtains? It’s lacking some ‘oomph’ though. Maybe that wall color is too dark.
I wish those zigzags came in hot pink. Or pink and aubergine!
Rearranging the Dining Room Hutch
This is what the hutch looks like right now:
And this was it before:
When I took everything out and laid it all on the table, it looked a little like my own personal flea market. It was fun to choose what would make it back in.
The fabric that I tacked to the back of the […]
Paint & Fabric Instead of Wallpaper?
I hated the blue upholstery on the new dining room chairs (I’m just not a big fan of the color). I peeked underneath and saw green, so I decided to take off the blue fabric. I figured the fabric underneath would either be gross and need to be recovered (which would be fine), […]
