Our Creative Space...

It has been a while since the last furniture piece. They always take a lot of time and space. But this one was so much fun. The colors makes one instantly cheerful :)

The starting point was an old coffee table which was a yucky brown. I sandblasted it to remove all its old paint. We then picked a vintage embroidery and I choose the paint color according to that.

 

Everything is super colorful, yet it has depth thanks to the black.

As both the furniture and embroidery are vintage this is an absolute one of a kind.

Proof of Life

Things have been quiet on our blog, life has been crazy and hectic.
We are still moving!!! It has been 10 months since we bought the house but we are finally almost done.

Between weekend lockdowns and restrictions we have been juggling to get things done, while also keeping our shops updated. While most of our stuff is now moved and the workspaces are all there, the garden is not finished yet. In about 2 weeks once that is done we can take our pack of doggies and move to the new house. There won't be grass for less work and less water use, it all took longer than expected and cost more than anticipated but the ending is in sight.

I will blog about the house soon but in the mean time here is a finished ottoman which I did between going back and forth to the house so it took much longer than it normally would.

I had taken a before photo but it got lost somehow, it had fake leather and was all ripped and dirty. Everything had to go off which is always the part of reupholstering which takes a long time but you never see.

To create a rounded effect it got several layers of various fillings and batting.

The foam first got upholstered with a cream fabric as the kilim on top has little weaving holes.

Something most people don't do but with a slight case of OCD we kind of feel like we have to :) Covering the under staples with a trim.

This kilim was a large piece but we used the remaining parts of these chairs, we had been careful while cutting to keep the round part intact with an ottoman in mind.

I love how this cutie turned out, available at StarHomeStudio.

Another project that has taken ages, 4 months to be precise is this knitted jacket. You saw the start back in February.
The yarn wasn't enough, 3 times and then we ordered it at various places where it turned out to be out of stock, it was a struggle not to mention very hard to knit, but it is finished and turned out very special.

It has a weight and is super toasty.

I love the kind of woven basket effect.

This one is available at StarsWear, we have a few other new pieces but this one specifically deserved some extra attention :)

All we Need is Love

All we need is love, even a heart shaped pouf :)
This one was never really anything special but a kid clearly didn't improve it by the time we scored it.

All the faux leather, out of shape foam and filling had to be removed.

Then it was time to choose the fabric, always fun to do.

An her she is with a pretty new dress and a whole new attitude :)

The top is a beautiful vintage embroidery, the sides a terracotta colored velvet.

Available at StarHomeStudio among other one of a kind furniture pieces.
