Pulling Up The Carpet

Do you know what purple indoor/outdoor carpet is good for?  Do you? Because I don’t. I can’t think of one instance where you might need purple indoor/outdoor carpet, unless you own and operate some kind of indoor/outdoor bowling alley/casino/children’s playplace.  Then maybe.

I’ll tell you one thing it’s not good for. Upholstery. That’s a firm NO SIR. But that didn’t stop someone from using it to reupholster this poor pair of chairs at some point in time.  Larissa at Prodigal Pieces reports they were so scratchy and uncomfortable, no one in her home could bear to sit in them.

But there’s no denying they had lovely lines underneath. They could wear a feed sack and still look great.

Oh snap. That’s exactly what she did with the first one.  And not only does it look, well, darling – it looks like something you’d actually want to sit in too. Imagine that.

 

 

And I really, really love this linen and floral makeover on the second chair. So feminine and lovely! Do you see the coordinating welting on the edges?  So pretty.

And you have to see the back too!  Check that out at Prodigal Pieces.
