Makeover Monday is here again. If you are a long time reader you may recall my auction blog post last year. I bought this nice old chaise and vowed to make it handsome once more. .jpg)
The chaise had a stained and torn dark red broadcloth for a covering, and the wood which was originally false grained to look like quarter sawn oak, was now pealing off and was hardly attractive.
I tightened the wobbly claw feet, and painted the wood a nice metallic gold, before tackling the reupholstery. The fabric I chose is much heavier than the previous choice. It is a jacquard weave in golds and reds. I also added an elegant tasseled fringe.
This lovely, formerly exquisite, Victorian lady will soon find a new home. I can imagine her lounging at the foot of an elegant bed with the dressing gown of a femme fatale thrown artistically across her breadth. Thanks for coming along to visit our renewed lady.
I love your choice of fabric and the fringe is the perfect touch. I would love it if you shared this beautiful makeover at my Restyled Sundays party.
