Our Reupholstering Fun...

When we decided to refurnish our Temecula house, our goal was to make it livable for the least amount of money.

We bought our dinette at an estate sale. Our family room drapes came from IKEA and I bought an extra set knowing we wanted to reupholster the seat cushions to make the room more cohesive (l do love things that match).
With not a lot going on, 96° heat and my neck actually feeling good, we got busy.
And how many of you remember The Bombay Company from the early 80s? My rich girlfriend shopped exclusively there. Needless-to-say, Steve and I were too poor to buy this set then but now we are the proud owners of our own Bombay Company dinette. It took almost 40 years, but score!
Here's a before (left) and after of our new, definitely more interesting, seat cushions.
According to Andre Putman, “For a house to be successful, the objects in it must communicate with one another, respond and balance one another.”

Note how the cushions are communicating with the drapes. Success! The decor is coming together.
