Re-Upholstering A Chaise

Well, hi everyone! I hope you all have had a good week; busy I'm sure! This week was focused on organizing for winter and scouting Craigslist for awesome frugal finds!


I needed a chair - a relaxing chair - for my new office and another storage cabinet or two and doors for the closet and room door. I found four glass-pane doors so two will go on the closet - it's 48 inches wide and had mirrored bi-folds before. I'll use the other two for other closets.


Here's my super duper $15 frugal find:

The entire chaise needs to be re-done. One of the arms is loose, the legs need reinforcement and I'll attempt to raise the back a bit - I may even remove the arms for a more contemporary look.

yes, those ivory outlet covers will be changed!
and the window will be changed next summer so I'm leaving as is.

This is the placement in the room, I'll add a floor lamp next to it. The empty corner will have another cabinet and be a working area. The desk - you see just a corner - will be for the sewing machine, computer work and for cutting material.


Speaking of material....... here are some ideas I have for the chaise. I'd love to know your thoughts - love them, hate them, which two or three you'd put together. These are from Fabric (dot) com:

As you can tell I haven't decided the coordinating colors to go with the light turquoise. I'm going for a modernized look and also will want to be able to move the chaise into another room if necessary. Shades of blues and greens will eventually be throughout the house.

So which ones jump out at you?
