diy upholstered x bench...

Have I ever mentioned my love for helping people pull together all the elements

of creating a beautiful home ? Or my love for gold accents or leopard prints? :)

  I'm truly grateful for this little blog and all of the people I've come in contact with because

 of it, yesterday we put a few finishing touches on my client's home. They're ready for a fun

 weekend, packed with out-of-town family coming in to celebrate their sweet little one's first

 birthday. I haven't taken the final pictures yet, but it's bold and colorful and has me

 re-thinking my neutral ways. Here's another sneak peek.

Mr. Client helped out with another diy last week, he spruced up a pair of x-benches that I

 reupholstered with a coat of gold paint.

Before taking this photo I asked Mrs. Client if she had anything I could use for styling, a bag

 or shoes? She brings me designer shoes that are so cute no one is going to look at the bench!

BEFORE

We started with two of these X Benches and used 1/2 yard of fabric.

 It was a quick update, the leather seat easily unscrews from the base. 

If you can wrap a present you can do it! But here's how I get professional looking corners: 

After I've secured the fabric I cut out a small square to lessen the bulkiness at the corner,

then continue wrapping as you would a present and stapling at each step.

    

Ta Da!
