Edmonton Decorator | DIY | Painting Fabric

Why Painting Fabric Will Make You Question Everything

Design trends come and go, but budgets don't always keep pace with these trends. The floral sofa you spent thousands on last decade is now terribly out of date and is a giant eyesore in the center of your living room. So what do you do? Re-upholstering can be very costly and pre-fabricated slipcovers come in limited sizes and colours. Do you live with the floral monstrosity or shell out more hard earned money to keep up with the Joneses?

What if I told you that you could PAINT your upholstered furniture? If you haven't heard of Chalk Paint, let me introduce you to this makeover miracle! It doesn't matter if your furniture is leather, linen, velvet or cotton. This paint will transform it all!

Edmonton Interior Decorator | Before and After | Furniture Makeover

I don't know about you, but I grew out of the "matchy matchy" furniture sets a long time ago. Now, I'm all about building a design around unique, but complementary pieces. What's even more fun is finding vintage, or inexpensive pieces that you can transform into a thing of beauty.

Feast your eyes on these beauties. The creativity and skill that these DIYers possess is truly a gift.

Where do I even start with this dresser? It has writing on it. (Love it.) It has a vintage fan and camera on top of it as well. (More than love it.) Oh, and it's referencing NYC. (Big love!)
