Would You Like Grain Sacks with That Reupholstery?

reupholstered-edwardian-chair-in-vintage-grain-sacks

My favorite reupholstery projects take antique bones and dress them in unusual fabrics or modern materials.  Reupholstered with French vintage grain sacks, this Edwardian sitting chair takes on new life.  I especially enjoy the symmetrical and purposeful use of the graphics on the grain sacks.

Of course, another fantastic way to add vintage grain sacks and burlap into your home is to stop by maya*made’s Etsy shop, who just had an exciting shop update today!

Do you have any creating plans this weekend?  I hope that you will enjoy a happy, relaxing, and inspirational weekend!

    I am finishing off various DIY jobs – so I have something to write about next week. I’m just looking at an almost finished coffee table it took me months to finish (it wasn’t a big job.) Have a great weekend!

    I love that chair! Of course. Thanks so much for directing your readers to my shop! I’m working on more. I’m a bit burlap obsessed. In the mean time, I’ll be drooling over your turquoise Royal. I had an old, classic black Royal as a child. I’ve always wanted to get one again… mmm…

    I love anything made from grain sack. This chair is especially nice with the bold graphic. It would look perfect in my living room.

    I love this idea! I just got a few grain sacks for Christmas, but don’t know what to do with them. If only I was good at upholstery!!

    Women who employ a natural curve shaped body were intentionally the reason why Women’s Underwear are made. By just looking seeking what sort of materials would drape and skim those curves would allow it to be worth the effort of their making and you will feel the glamour from your air should you the one wearing it.

    Bear in mind darning on lusty, captivating lingerie can change a usual evening into a awesome and stimulating night time. Wearing a unique piece of wedding underwear on your wedding night could make your evening only a little much more special, wink, wink. You girl!

    @Markus I get your drift on where you were going there. I often think of my past and use it as a means to analyze where I am and where I want to get to. Where I struggel is balancing it all out. How do you guys balance things out?

    Just wasting some free time on Digg and I found your article . Not typically what I prefer to read about, but it was absolutely worth my time. Thanks.

    So not really on the same topic as your post, but I found this today and I just can’t resist sharing. Mrs. Agathe’s dishwasher quit working so she called a repairman. Since she had to go to work the next day, she told him, “I’ll leave the key under the mat. Fix the dishwasher, leave the bill on the counter, and I’ll mail you the check. Oh, and by the way…don’t worry about my Doberman. He won’t bother you. But, whatever you do, do NOT under ANY circumstances talk to my parrot!” When the repairman arrived at Mrs. Agathe’s apartment the next day, he discovered the biggest and meanest looking Doberman he had ever seen. But just as she had said, the dog simply laid there on the carpet, watching the repairman go about his business. However, the whole time the parrot drove him nuts with his incessant cursing, yelling and name-calling. Finally the repairman couldn’t contain himself any longer and yelled, “Shut up, you stupid ugly bird!” To which the parrot replied, “Get him, Spike!”
