Furniture Recovery

Hello ladies.... Long time no post, I know. Life has been busy as I am sure you all can understand and relate. With that being said, I wanted to share with you my husband & I have recently purchased a house which means a lot of redo-ing and renovating in the Branch household. Boy, living with tools can really test your patience, however I have to keep my eye on the prize - THE END! We are currently tackling the Master Bath & Bedroom, and then moving onto the kitchen. It needs a lot of work. More pictures later of those rooms & the improvements. In the meantime, I have been digging in my storage unit pulling out pieces of furniture I have bought of the years. I wanted to share with you some of my furniture "redo-ing."


I found these first 2 chairs for $30.00 a piece at a local thrift store in my hometown Enterprise, AL. The fabric came from a great inexpensive fabric store in Tuscaloosa, AL - $2, $4, $6, $8 fabrics. Yes, all fabrics are 2 dollars, 4 dollars, 6 dollars, or 8 dollars!!! I also found this great recovering business in Tuscaloosa who recovered them for a wonderful price of $175.00 a piece. Not bad right? And, they pick up and deliver, such a perk!

Next is this settee.... I found this gem 3 years ago outside of Mobile, AL at a little shop on the side of the road. It has hurt my eyes the past couple of years but wanted to have a permanent home for it before it got a makeover. I purchased the settee for $100. 00 and chose a fabric from $2, $4, $6, $8 fabrics. I believe this one was $4.00 a yard. It was a remnant piece.

And, lastly these headboards... I found these sitting in my father-in-laws attic and saw good bones so decided to bring them down for a face lift. I chose a navy vinyl (it looks like leather) as that was the look I was going for but didn't want to spend the $ for real leather. Again, the fabric was purchased from $2, $4, $6, $8 fabrics in Tuscaloosa, AL.

Please excuse the background mess in these pictures as nothing is in its home. More pictures and posts to come on the final product and renovations!!!
