mushroom shaped footstools get reupholstered

'shroom II-- Style Slapped...twice!

in , ,

Y'all, my second mushroom ottoman has been turned out! Here's the fabric she got done up in: A tight pic of the velvet fabric that PJ Mehaffey used on mushroom ottoman

Velvet wasn't my first choice, in all honesty...I wanted to do this awesome blue cotton canvas, but the company stopped making that particular shade of blue, and I wasn't really loving the upgraded color they were trying to pass off as it's replacement. SO, I came across this velvet in the same shade of blue as my inspiration, which I was intrigued by...but then I noticed all this distressing and it was over! 2.5 yards couldn't get into my bag fast enough...and I think I ended up with the right choice:

Y'all check out my 'shroom ottoman's new outfit: A pic of reupholstered mushroom ottoman

That giant-a$$ shadow was insistent upon getting in on the photo shoot, but thankfully it doesn't distract from all the gorg babygirl is serving us:

I LOVE how it turned out...Economy Foam and Futon did such a terrific job (who knew they did upholstery? Y'all DO...that's who!?) It's so scrumptious now, compared to what she was serving us before:

A pic of two mushroom shaped ottomans Y'all, I've had these two vintage mushroom-shaped ottomans for a while now. Love! They're quirky, small, portable and quite comfy. Problem is they're both rockin' the original fabric that they were "grown" in...heinous shag situations...that wouldn't be so bad, except I've already got a vintage shag rug in our living room...and that's just too much shag on shag action, even for me:

That, and one of them is full on disintegrating from the inside out...that's what happens to foam from the 60's:

Anyway, I'm giving these gals an update with new fabric! This print is going on the rotten mushroom:

J'adore this fabric! It's kinda like a barkcloth in texture, which is great for durability. And the colors/print just style-slapped me right across the face! Hello Ikat-realness!!! The 'shroom will also get all new foam and batting...the other ottoman is going to be redone in a solid canvas, most likely some tangy shade of blue, which as soon as I get, will share. I could've easily done both in the same fabric, but didn't want them to be too matchy-matchums. Check back to see the other fabric and HOT AFTER Mushroom Makeover shots!!!
