Last week I ventured into a Jo-Ann Fabric for the first time since I was seven or eight years old. I found this gem of a trim! The deep rich pink, the inverted pleats with ruffles and the $1.99 a yard price tag made for a real winner for my daughter's chaise!
I'm usually one who believes in spending good money on high quality furniture, yet there are instances where I disregard that mindset. This being one of them, this piece is used excessively, still looks fabulous and is perfect for a little one's room.
Have you tried trim enhancement on a retail find?
this is fantastic! great find!
ReplyDeleteYou're amazing Lisa!! It looks fantastic. xo
ReplyDeleteI would like to kiss the person who invented instant drying fabric glue. It has changed my life!
ReplyDeleteThe chaise is quite lovely...
You are brilliant, Lisa! Love the chaise.
ReplyDeleteIt looks great! I had 2 of the white slipcovered long storage benches that I sewed a taupe toile fabric band along the bottom which really helped to protect it from the heels of shoes and boots since I used it in our entrance. :)
ReplyDeleteOh, I have been searching for a nice pom-pom trim for Maddie's drapes....maybe I should try Jo Anns! This looks fabulous....never would have imagined it was from Ikea!
ReplyDeleteLisa, this looks gorgeous! Great job. It adds that extra charm and looks beautiful. The rest of the room is so darling too! I recently found a great lamp with a new lampshade. My plan is to add some trim to the shade in an accessory color!
ReplyDeleteLisa - This looks amazing!!! xx
ReplyDeleteThe trim is fabulous! I also like their expedit bookcases, can't really go wrong there for the price.
ReplyDeletei have this chaise...actually one armed, but i digress.
ReplyDeletelove your enhanced version. well done, friend. thanks for posting.
I'm definitely not as crafty as you - if I brought my trim and pillows, will you show me how? Love the pop of bright pink on the white.

ReplyDeleteOUTSTANDING! wow!

Lisa-Great job with this. I actually have a chair in Ariyana's bedroom similar to this and it's cream and I would love to change it up. This is a great idea!
ReplyDeleteWe are with you all the way!!! We love this chaise and have used it several times as a budget-friendly option that is also fabulously comfy. Love the pink trim you added too...super cute!!!
ReplyDeleteI think sometimes you can find well designed pieces that are quite cheap and if you throw them into the mix with good quality pieces no one would know the difference! Same goes with fashion styling. This room is a great example.

HI, I just found you - I've been looking at the Ektorp sofas and your comments on the chaise are helpful. I already have a chaise, but it's nice to know Ikea's lays flat! I didn't know that! I have 2 boys and wondering about the durability of the sofas. ( think jumping!)
ReplyDeleteAlso, what a beautiful job you did with the trim! If you have a full post on your daughter's room, I'd love to include it in my gallery. You can link it to the Tuesday's Nursery hop: http://playfuldecor.blogspot.com/2011/08/tuesdays-nursery.html
and then I'll post it in the gallery of girl's bedrooms. Feel free to include more kids rooms or boards too. I'm off to look around your site more - nice to meet you!
Love this! What a great idea! SOmethings are made well enough to last awhile and it seems like you found a treasure for a great price!
ReplyDeletefabulous trim! what a great update on an already wonderful chaise. I had no idea the chaise fully reclined. yes, JoAnn's can surprise sometimes!
ReplyDeleteLisa it is perfect on you daughter's chaise!!
ReplyDeleteI saw that trim at Calico Corners when they still carried it and thought of several projects I would love to use it on!
