Bliss from a Burlap Bench



From the South of France, this old thing arrived in need of some serious TLC… and that we gave it. I was offended when I first saw this bench with its ratty old chartreuse tassels and wildly mismatched upholstery. It was a sight for sore eyes to say the least. And look at it now, handsome as ever. Covered in a vintage burlap sack, my boss and I decided it would make a great covering, and that it did. Typically we use snow white or ivory colored linen or canvas to cover our pieces, so this neutral burlap helps in keeping our upholstered items cohesive. However, the sherbet-orange horizontal stripe and the coarse, sacking weave makes it a bit different and particularly awesome!!!
