The Wing Backs are getting a Makeover!

I'm sooo excited about finally getting my wing back chairs recovered. I acquired these from my hairdresser because she knew how much I had always wanted to fix them up. She was redecorating her house and couldn't find a place for them, so offered them to me! 

I am so thrilled to be getting these on the upholstery list! They have waited their turn behind many projects including this one!

I have had them since we moved to our new house, which is almost 3 years now and its their time! I cant wait to post the makeover!

This is who usually enjoys the chairs, as you can see!

I am putting white leather on them with nailhead trim around some of the piping areas. I am also going to strip the legs of the dark finish and pickle the legs.

So I'm hoping they turn out similar to these!

(yes, I know the legs are different, but Im looking for something similar to the finish on the legs and the nail heads, this is just an inspiration idea)

Stay tuned!

One year Blogiversary!

Technically, it was yesterday a year ago when I posted the first blog to this site! I cannot believe its been a year in some aspects, but in others it feels like it has been an eternity.

I looked back on some of the projects that I tackled, and some that I wanted to tackle in the course of a year...and I think I did pretty well for the most part!

(while holding down a full time job and my Kreations business to boot!=)

I am currently working on a few things furniture wise....I'll let you in on a little SECRET! The WING BACKS are finally getting their much needed make-over and I cant wait to show you the outcome!

Thank you to all of you that continue to follow this blog and enjoy reading it as much as

I enjoy creating it!


XOXO, Ken

Happy 1 Year Blogiversary to My Palettes!

Just a little to mix it up!

OK, so I am known for re-doing things very often!

I cannot help myself though, I get tired of the same thing because of the business that I am in.

I am always surrounded by wonderful fabrics choices, colors and lots of inspiration on a daily basis.

So, our Master Bdrm. is a combination of grays, whites, blacks and our bedroom furniture is a dark walnut color.

I do NOT intend to paint the walls just yet because I do love the colors, but I DO want to change up the accessories, pillows and the fireplace to make it a little different but not cost a whole rooms worth
(if you know what I mean)

I am awaiting the much anticipated return of my beloved WING BACKS for this room, and I have a feeling that they are going to look amazing.


(Before), After coming soon!

I went to my upholsterer on this one since he does an amazing job for the company I work for.  He is very reasonable and if you would like his information I can send to you.

When I get these back, I am going to get a rug for the area that they will go in, which will need to coordinate with the new addition of the yellow/gold in this room.

 My new fabric choice to incorporate was from this...

Click on photo to find source. This is a company that sells to a retail market.



 Pillows in this fabric have been made by my sweet Aunt J. She should really start her own business of draperies, linens, and pillows. I give her enough work as it is! =) She's the BEST!

I am also changing out the draperies in this room to a much lighter fabric, hopefully it will liven it up a bit!

If you can see them in this photo, they are changing...too dark on the bottom for me.
I cant wait to see the outcome of my additions to the room to "wake" it up for me instead of going through a complete RED-DO.

Sometimes I think I'm a little crazy, but then other times I think to myself that I'm sure someone, maybe just ONE person out there in the world is a little like me when it come to this!
