Before & After 🌟

This antique chair received a beautiful refresh while still honoring its original character and craftsmanship. The dated plaid fabric was replaced with this elegant blue patterned textile, giving the piece a timeless new look while highlighting the warmth of the wood frame.

A perfect example of how the right fabric can completely transform a piece and make it feel fresh again. 💙

This ottoman got a full transformation with fresh fabric and new life. A simple update can completely change the feel of a space—proof that you don’t always need something new, just something renewed.

These custom seat cushions are a beautiful addition to this dining room ✨

Upholstered in the stunning Anna French “Stockbridge” floral by Thibaut, they strike that perfect balance between timeless elegance and fresh, livable color. The soft blues, greens, and golden tones play beautifully against the deep green chairs and the patterned rug—layered, inviting, and effortlessly collected.

It’s amazing how something as simple as seat cushions can add comfort, personality, and just the right pop of pattern to a room. 🌿

Fabric: Anna French for Thibaut — “Stockbridge”

Before ➡️ After ✨

These benches and chairs started as standard wooden pieces… and look at them now! We transformed them into beautiful upholstered dining seating—completely changing their look and feel.

This project is such a great example of how you can salvage what you already have and turn it into something fresh, fun, and functional. Even better—the striped fabric was reused! It once served as a playful drapery lining, and now it brings a whimsical, one-of-a-kind personality to these traditional chairs.

I absolutely love how this turned out 💛

Before & After ✨

This mid-century sofa has undergone a dramatic makeover. What was once tired and overlooked is now a true statement piece, reimagined in a stunning metallic blue silk velvet that catches the light from every angle.

The transformation is nothing short of striking—rich, luxurious, and undeniably eye-catching. This is no longer just a sofa… it’s the centerpiece of the room. 💙

Spring is just around the corner, and there’s no easier way to refresh a space than with beautiful new pillows. 🌿

These four pillows feature a stunning animal pattern by Thibaut, perfectly paired with a rich coordinating green velvet backing for an extra touch of luxury. The mix of pattern and plush texture adds depth, color, and just the right hint of the unexpected.

Constance did an amazing job bringing these together—her craftsmanship truly makes the fabric shine.

A small change like new pillows can completely transform a room and welcome the new season in style. ✨
