So while surfing craigslist I happen to run across this beautiful gem and I just have to have it. I had been wanting to add a pop of color to my white and black decor forever, but never found that wow piece. And I just knew this was it! It's beautiful tufted blue velvet in immaculate condition from the 1940s. My style has evolved throughout the years and transformed from modern to shabby chic to what now I call would say timeless. It's all about quality and finding the beauty in every style. I loved it as is but wanted to add some upholstery tacks and made a bold move painting the wood trim a coordinating blue. It wasn't as easy as I thought because trim had aluminum insert and I had to cut out, fill,sand and paint. Once that was all done I tried nailing the upholstery tacks and had a difficult time until my brilliant husband thought of pre-drilling the holes and then securing them with heavy-duty glue. I'm super happy with the results and now time to find the perfect oversized blue Decour pillows for my dark brown leather couch to coordinate.
