Before & After #3

Couldnt believe my eyes when I found this for $4 in the local op shop. Loving velvet (as seen on one of my previous posts) and this color in particular.It was just what I was looking for. I have turned this vintage velvet skirt from this.....



to use in updating this......






to become this...




One of the cats was on my new chair within five minutes of unpacking it! Luckily I put a towel down knowing this princess would take posession.....


also my first try at a pom pom - so easy.



The footstool/ottoman is quite out there in color, but I love it. It was originally given to my partner by his parents as they no longer wanted it. The material was terrible to work with, as obviously not made for upholstering. I will have it done professionally, eventually, including the buttons and probably in a duck egg blue linen. But for now am enjoying the pop of color for some fun.
Hope you have all had a good weekend. X
