See Spot Sit

This dog has hit the big time on the blogs…and now Togo makes it to TPH.

I was searching for a leopard print for these $20 Queen of Hearts chairs…but went dotty instead.  I lived with the black vinyl too long.  Remember?

Ten dollars per yard, $5 per chair, 30 minutes to staple on…and that, friends, is the extent of my upholstery skills.

Now I just hope the fur doesn’t start to fly between Spot and Fluffy there.  Meow.

Shysta!! That is so HOT! Love the ten dollar per yard that really looks like a million dollar a yard. I love how incredibly awesome you are.

I just found your blog via Full House and am LOVING your use of the “Togo” print. I had 2 parsons-style ottomans reupholstered in it and love every new use of the pattern! Can’t wait to devour more of your blog!

Check out my ottomans here:

Dear angela,

I was impressed with your DIY upholstered chairs with spotted fabric, that I wrote about them on my blog. I hope you like it, If you want me to adjust something please let me know.

All the best

Looove this fabric and your entryway. I’m ashamed to say I haven’t been through your site, but I have a feeling I’m about to have a ball doing so!

I absolutely adore those chairs of yours! It’s crazy what a huge difference a little fabric can do, definitely an upgrade =D Love the rest too of course, the cat lamp is oh-so sweet!
