The Power Of Fabric Part Three

Fabric is amazing. With fabric you can take a worn out piece of furniture and transform it into something fabulous. In this instance fabric has changed the already wonderful Jackson chair from Hickory Chair into stunning couture furniture. The couture fabric is from Kravet Fabrics. It is a chic embroidered  floral on an off white background. This gorgeous chair is now in the living room of one of my clients.

My client's dining room chairs have also been transformed. The original look, which is similar to the look on the left ( sometimes I forget to take the before photo) was a combination of brown leather and a brown patterned chenille. Very nice. To update the look I kept the leather and changed the fabric to a vivacious velvet stripe from Designers Guild. As you might have guessed we're adding color to the rooms. I love the change.

  1. It is amazing how a fabric can transform a piece from ordinary to stunning! The Kravet fabric is really beautiful on the Jackson Chair by Mariette Himes Gomez for Hickory Chair. Thanks for sharing this with us!

  2. This is such a great way to get a whole new look without the expense of new furniture. And why not? You loved the piece when it was first purchased and that didn't change. You just want to give the room a lift. It rather like going from long hair to a cute short do. Everyone notices you again.
