After having these vintage chairs recovered, I was left with a good amount of this dark grey velvet fabric. Either I over-ordered or the upholsterers did, but I’m not complaining, because I have just the right amount to upholster my very own headboard.
I’ve been wanting to do this for quite some time, but life gets in the way, and not having a car makes gathering large wood pieces a tad more difficult. I’ve looked at so many different styles and wow, there are some really gorgeous ones out there. These barely scrape the surface! Since this will be my first time upholstering, I’m going to stick to a pretty basic shape, rectangle and pass on the tufting.
This weekend I’m hoping to successfully tackle this project. I’m already looking forward to sitting in my bed with a cup of coffee and Olive cuddled up with me this winter! Wish me luck!
