The magic of great fabric! The "before" picture of this settee actually isn't the bad, but WOW...the after is amazing. The geometric print totally revived this already beautiful piece of furniture!
I actually found these pictures via a Craigslist search - I don't even remember what I was looking for now, but these pictures totally impressed me. I think they were actually advertising reupholstery services (the post listed contact information as simplyreupholstery@hotmail.com if anyone in the DC-area is looking for some upholstery work).
I am a firm believer in giving old pieces new life...that doesn't mean everything in my home is recycled, but many, many pieces are. And pictures like this reaffirm how far a little elbow grease can go...so take a look around your house and see what pieces you might revive with a kiss of pretty fabric. Or (like me) scour Craigslist for treasures you can reinvent the next time you are in need of a new piece for your home...
