And then I scored a matching grey cotton blend with the perfect sheen for $2.50/yd!
I am loving these colors together!
AND I LOVE how these fabrics go with a collection of buttons that I have been wanting to use.
It got me thinking about my ten dollar find from the Goodwill. Remember this:
This chair got me thinking about how I can transform it into something like this:
This GORGEOUS chair is by Celine Dupuy and I found it in this book:
I have wanted to do something similar to this chair since I saw it over three years ago. I have been collecting the buttons and I might just have enough to do something! We'll see if I can pull it off!
In Celine's book, Simple Sewing with a French Twist, she not only shares her beautiful projects, but gives you all the instructions you need. I highly recommend this book!
I just couldn't pass up these fabrics for that price and I thought I would share my inspiration! Hope you enjoy!

I hope you do this, it is so cool. I want to see the finished product. You have such a great classic yet fresh sense of design.
ReplyDeleteKelle, this is going to be AMAZING when it's finished. That fabric was meant for you at that price (and color scheme). You are beyond talented!
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone! I can't wait to get started! Im STILL not decided on exactly what I want. I think it's one of those projects that will come to life once I start it. We'll see!
