Befores and Afters


Befores and Afters
I’m thrilled to bits that the chairs I’ve had covered in Sevilla Rock are featured on Design*Sponge’s Befores and Afters today!

This one was a gift for Peter Slingsby, who let me use his records of Cederberg rock art. Thanks Pete!

This glider was a rather lucky find in a very cottagey furniture store.

And this is one of those Befores that are so bad, the After can’t help but be an improvement!

To buy yardage of my Sevilla Rock upholstery-weight fabrics, visit my Etsy shop.

    Awesome finds. The fabric works perfectly in all three types of chairs too. What a great way to show the diversity of your upholstery fabrics.
    Bravo.

    The before and afters are incredible! I left a post on Design*Sponge saying your fabrics are even more gorgeous in person- which they are!

    My sister adores the fabric I bought her and has made the cutest toys with them- I’ll have to take some photos for you.

    Fantastic afters! I have one of your (red) sevilla rock tea towels which I have draped over the back of an armchair – it looks great …

  • Karin

    Your fabric looks beautiful on those chairs! You must be very pleased. I recently tried restoring a chair too, but with Lara Cameron’s fabric. :)

    Gorgeous. Nothing like a before and after to make you smile. BTW I’ve passed on a “lovely blog” award to your lovely blog which I think is simply a visual feast!
