Head For The Bed Headboards

This antique footstool had been recovered in a faux leather and stripping back the layers revealed the original floral cover. It has now been brought up to date with a black velvet and studded trim revamp.

Haven’t posted for a while so time for a catch up! This extra wide headboard allows the beds to be used as two singles or one king size. The buttons were made using the spare material from the custom made roman blinds. I covered the bed frames with the same fabric as the headboard to create a co-ordinated scheme.

I’ve had a few chair projects to complete over the last couple of weeks. They have turned out beautifully, the fabrics, by Jane Churchill and Mairi Helena, were a joy to work with. Happy clients, happy me!

Shaped headboard starring Jane Churchill fabric Havana in red/green. A lovely, heavily embroidered linen, it was a challenging fabric to work with but it achieved stunning results.

Here’s one I made earlier……….Window seat in Pandora Seaspray fabric from Independent Upholstery Suppliers in Glasgow. My client has accessorised the seat with contrasting cushions. Deep orange and duck egg blue work beautifully together.

Mid century G Plan footstool and a well loved but jaded leather pouffe are given a new lease of life using ILIV fabrics Bronte Mulberry and Bronte Sand.

Completed this chair project just before Christmas. My client chose a fabulous velvet bee fabric which perfectly compliments the honeycomb shaped wicker chair back. Gorgeous!

I loved this ILIV fabric so much, I used it again! Contemporary update for a mid century chair.

Revamp of a mid century chair, my client tells me that it was a wedding present given to her in-laws in the late 1950s! It was in remarkably@good nick, and beautiful wood was revealed by sanding off the layers of dark varnish. My client was delighted by the result, and so was I!

Matchy matchy……….. I used the last of the gorgeous ILIV fabric to recover a Next pouffe and delivered it to my client this afternoon to sit alongside the chic sofa. Luxurious feet up situation!

Stunning transformation of a Next sofa using ILIV’s Bazaar upholstery fabric in Emerald. Side panels were enhanced with chrome stud trim. Photographed shortly before heading to the delighted client’s home where it will take pride of place in the bay window.

Delighted how this roman blind has turned out, it looks stunning on this large picture window in my client's ensuite bathroom. The velvet panel, Cranes in Black, is by a new fabric company, Mallion and Knowles, based in Manchester. Gorgeous!
