Contemporary and unique lifestyle fabrics

Saffrons Blog

A blog about fabrics, designing, ideas and things that inspire me.

New lease of life.

Saffron Craig - Thursday, August 04, 2011
This book case was a 21st present from my late Grandfather, I had painted it brown a long time ago and always thought It would be replaced one day. Inspired by the Design Sponge and a trend in painting old furniture, the old bookcase got a revamp instead.

I had some beautiful grey paint left over from an earlier project and thought it would combine nicely with some fabric backing from the Imaginary Flowers range.




Painting the bookcase


Yep, still painting the bookcase.



Presto. A couple of hours of painting and a few foam core boards covered in fabric to give this book case a new look.
I decided on the Lean-to Stripes as they add a bookish feel.
