You know this dream project I’m working on? It’s bananas. And the kitchen reno is underway which will make it UBER-bananas. Well, another element of the it came in last week and I’m delirious with the results. I wanted a pair of black x-benches with monograms for this space but we didn’t want to spend a fortune. So what I did was order up a pair of black Ballard x-benches along with a couple extra yards of matching fabric. I took the extra fabric to a local monogram shop and had them done up in a very Adler-esque chain frame style and then had an upholsterer redo the tops of them (and use some white fabric to pipe the edges). TA-DA!(Pardon the crappy Blackberry pic)
They look super expensive and custom made, no?
you clever girl ;)
Beautiful!! That is such a fabulous idea and the result is stunning. Can’t wait to see the rest of the space. :)
I love that you took something retail and made it look uber expensive and custom! What a great idea!
What a great idea. I have been super curious about the quality of the Ballard benches. If you hadn’t gone the extra mile to customize them, would they have worked in a solid? I need a little punch of red.
I really like this idea, and yes they do look custom.
Now I am rethinking a few things of my own.
