Upholstery- french settee and chairs

We bought a settee and chairs a couple of years ago with the intention of re-upholstering them. Finally, this summer I bought my first power tool- a pneumatic stapler- and tackled the job. Here are the results! I stripped all three pieces of furniture down to the frame, painted, tied springs, stapled foam and fabric, and glued double welting- viola! I would have been totally intimidated by the process if it hadn't been for the awesome instructional video by Amanda Brown of Spruce. I totally recommend it! Do you spy some Umbrella Prints and Danielle Stewart hand printed loveliness?


Just adding on a picture of a little Christmas craft I did for the ever changing mantle montage. E calls it the Yonder Star.
