Before & After: Chinoiserie at best!

Before my adventures into upholstery, and with the help of many youtube and blogs tutorials, I decided to put to some good use an amazing Bassett McNab's Tea Garden fabric I purchased from FHG (fabric holly grail, aka, DeBois).

I had already seen the impact and use of the wallpaper of the mentioned fabric:



                 
Room by Gideon Mendelson as seen at House Beautiful

After many theories in how to make a headboard (thank you Rachel and Sara), I decided to take the plunge and go for it:

Add amazing fabric:




Some plywood and MDF:


Et voila! In less than 3 hours (matching the fabric was the most difficult of all tasks):





There is still a lot to do before I unveil the final product: my blue guest room. I still need to use the remaining fabric to do a roman shade for this room, add a rug, paintings, and a nifty chair I just purchased from Goodwill!

      The room will be soon changed to a toddler's room… But I will be moving everything to another guest room! Stay tuned for the changes!

      The bedding was from Home Goods. I got it two years ago, though...

      Just follow your gut! And after all is just fabric, some foam, staples and MDF! If you don't' like, you can do it all over again! Good luck!
