Burlap Week: Day 1...Deconstructed French Chaise

BURLAP WEEK: DAY 1
DECONSTRUCTED FRENCH CHAISE

BURLAP WEEK DAY 1: Deconstructed French Chaise
BURLAP WEEK DAY 2: "Faux Sew" Burlap Pillow Cover
BURLAP WEEK DAY 3: Plaid Pattern Burlap Coaster
BURLAP WEEK DAY 4: Burlap & Jute Placemat
BURLAP WEEK DAY 5: Burlap Tissue Box Cover
BURLAP WEEK DAY 6: Burlap Earring Display

This burlap project was more of a happy accident than anything else. Deciding that the silk aqua fabric just wasn't working on this vintage French chaise, I decided to play upholstery detective to see what I could find. (Read the full story here.) Tada! Awesome burlap!


The burlap around the back of the chaise and along the seat are a great rustic contrast to the elegant lines of the chaise itself.


Burlap at its finest!


While this burlap project was posted not too long ago, the remaining Burlap Week projects/tutorials are new! So, I hope you link up your own burlap posts and come back each day to see the latest and greatest in burlap here at WWC.

    Love the chaise! I'm hoping that one day, somehow, somewhere, I find one of these to bring home.

    Thank you for hosting. I'm looking forward to seeing all the burlap projects this week.
