Fabric Paint

I've been working with fabric paint recently and really enjoying the multiple uses and looks that can be achieved with plain, black, screen printing fabric paint. I decided to work on some seat upholstery projects at work last week and took a few photos of the process and results. The base fabric for both cushions was the same, an old tablecloth with white on white stripes.

The first seat cushion is for a Danish mid century modern desk/side chair. For this funky chair I decided a funky seat was in order, so I used blue painter's tape to make random lines on the seat.

The next cushion was for a Chippendale style bench. The frame of the bench was recently painted glossy black (as you can tell, we are very into the glossy, black paint at my office right now). I like the sort of gothic look that this bench has now that it is black, and thought that this would be a good opportunity to pull out my bird stencils. Next I really want to get a large scale stencil to use on seats, maybe of a chandelier?

Recent Staging

Here are some photos from a recent staging I did. This is the master bedroom shown in 2 shots - first of the sleeping area, second of the additional seating. I was excited to work in those chairs that I refinished, I think they look great!

Recent Stagings

I wanted to share a few photos of recent stagings I have done. This first photo is a corner of the guest bedroom. I love the simplicity and calmness of the colors (the bed was blue and white), plus it is featuring a chair that I redid (painted the frame and upholstery all white).

This next photo the "teen" bedroom from the same house that is shown above. I decided to use light wood furniture to help with the younger feel of the room. I think it looks pretty cute, especially the chair near the window.

This last one is an unfinished sitting area of the master bedroom that I was working on today. The bed is a blue and white with brown accents, which highlights the beautiful views of the bay that are out those windows. I think this room is really going to come together once the art is hung above the loveseat. Can't wait to see the final outcome -after I get back from vacation!
