Settee Makeover!


Before



After

This is a French settee that was in desperate need of some TLC as you can see from the picture above! This little couch is beautiful and charming. The settee was purchased at an auction still stuffed with horse hair and the original webbing on the inside that was rapidly deteriorating. It was recovered in a cloth painting tarp due to two small boys who can be messy and rough on the furniture. This is an inexpensive way to recover a piece of upholstery. This material was also selected because of its resemblance in color to linen. Another great thing about this color is that you can change up your pillows and throws to suit the season and easily make it work.
