Coffee Table turned Upholstered Bench

Do you have an old coffee table? Most people do. Wish I had taken a "before" of this because it belonged to the client's husband in college! The bright blue velvet gives it new life. She chose it to match the gorgeous damask wallpaper exactly. The tufting makes it go from cheap to chic. Many upholstered buttons went into this but the end result made it worth it.
I love her grandmother's old luggage with it too. It looks like someone just arrived through the front door.

Slipcovered Wingback Chair

This chair was originally a garage sale find. It had great shape though and rounds out their living room seating area well. The client chose a textured stripe conducive to the 3 lovely children who play in this room daily. Totally durable. I love the vertical stripe with a skirt to the floor.
