Some of you may recall that way back when, I mentioned I picked up a bedding set at Homegoods that was a knockoff of
Kelly Wearstler's imperial trellis fabric. The duvet cover was a lightweight cotton but I knew I wanted to use the print for an upholstery project so I had some simple white canvas to line the thin cotton with and attached them with some simple spray adhesive for fabrics. The print is obviously still on a thinner fabric but the lining will help such a flimsy cotton to sit better on the piece and allow for more wear and tear. I paid $19.99 for the bedding set and was able to use the shams for
this project.
Enter our lovely pair of chairs who were just begging for a lovely print. I used paint that was leftover from a another project in a clean white and for a total of $34.00 we have an amazing pair of chairs. Not bad, not bad at all.
So next time you are out shopping and spy a bedding you love, don't write it off. Instead think of other uses for the fabric, curtains, pillows, an ottoman, chairs? The possibilities are endless and it is great way to score a lot of yardage for a good deal.
These chairs were actually used as decor at my friends wedding this week and were a wedding gift to her. More details from her adorable vintage wedding coming next week.
Enjoy your weekend!
