One thing I do when I re-upholster furniture is purchase some calico or cotton for the back to cover over the folded upholstery fabric. It creates a good finish and makes your project look that much better and tidier. I know you cannot see it but trust me it will make it look professionally done.

If you reupholster with a fabric with definite pattern repeat, need to be sure it is straight across the top. My OCD says so. Bare bulb lighting is really harsh. Some kind of shade is needed, especially in a bedroom. Just my 2 cents.

The pattern being crooked was probably caused by uneven tension. The best way to reupholster something is do one side with no tension, then do the opposite side with tension while checking periodically to make sure nothing is being pulled more than normal. Repeat for the other two sides

@@pe11entesque I was always taught to start in the middle of opposite sides in order to obtain correct tension. Moreover with patterned fabric it is easy to see if it's not straight. The corners weren't correct either. Maybe I'm just being picky 🤷🤷🤷

Instead of the peachy print and as it’s a small room.. I would add a mirror above the chest of drawers. And also add a small basket with little things like an extra charger, a lip balm some tissues and wipes. Oh and I would add a small chair or a tiny extra seating with a throw.

@suzymanville232 3 жыл бұрын
Even one of those small round stools with wood legs and usually a faux fur or hide cover. That would add more texture and provide a seat, step-stool, or foot-stool for function. I loved the big plant. I think a mirror would be a better choice over the dresser, especially if not bringing the big mirror back. Lastly, the big print looked disproportionate over the smaller dresser and kinda blended into the wall.

People over the age of 40 probably wouldn't get that though. Also the headboard not being completely straight didn't feel as big of a deal to me because of the mix of patterns going on. I honestly had to rewind and look at it to even realize after reading the comments. I love your videos and I hope none of the negativity from here effects you, your style, or your videos!

Love the mix/match of patterns, love the wallpaper, love the rug, love the fiddle-leaf fig. Just can't love the "peachy" art. Once you'd left, I'd take the peachy art down, put the one on the floor up, and buy a glass shade for the lamp. But that's just me. Love your work, Alexandra!

Hi, Alexandra: You asked for feedback on the use of pattern-on-pattern. In my case, I tend to be rather conservative on the patterns in my clothes, accessories, etc. (I tend to shy away from attracting too much attention). But even at home, I lean toward subtle colors and patterns that are soothing. You pull off a good number of pattern-on-pattern in your makeover videos rather well. Your artistic leanings are very in sync with creating harmonious environments. You did it again, Alexandra! Take care and be well.

This was an odd one. Not what Im used to seeing from Alexandra. She has such a great eye and style that she can make anything look good. But I definitely feel like this room suffered from her inability to get out and shop and shipping taking a long time. This felt like it was a bunch of things from her craft/decor stash and It just wasn't as curated as usual. I also thought Carla wasn't with her because the lighting was pretty dark. Maybe they couldn't bring lights or the normal amount of people they have. I feel like there are a lot of negative comments and maybe Im not much better, but I just wanted to point out the fact that coming out of quarantine and will a lot of shops still being closed off there's bound to be some difficulties in designing a room in a short period of time.

The wall paper is so lovely, too nice to cover with a headboard. A plain headboard could have cheapy mirrors glued across it, then turn it 180* to reflect the stately wall paper. Keep bedframe 4-6" away from drapes or bamboo blinds. Then you could have two lovely walls for the price of one.

It's very nice but thre fabric on the headboard is crooked and it's very distracting.

I like the color combo and the crane wallpaper. One thing with fabric covering; either with chair seats or headboards, if you are using a printed fabric with a big geometric or other design, you want to notice the repeat of the print, going up and down and across. It will be noticed if you do not center the pattern and make sure it is even across and up and down. I see on the headboard that the left side starts higher than the right, and it takes your eye down. If you need to at the fabric store, make sure you check your inches and tell the cutter you want the pattern to be in a certain place all the way across. Or you may not have enough to center. They can figure by inches, if it comes down to that. Or there are several fractional measurements on the yardstick and they can follow to the next fraction (1/4, 3/8, etc) to give you enough. If you straighten the cut there or at home, you will know you are straight all the way across. I have sewed for many years and worked in the fabric store industry for several years as well.

I think the pattern on pattern works in this case, but obviously when mixing patterns you have to be careful, but the ones you chose work well. With upholstery I think it would work better to actually line up the print so it isn't crooked to start with - you would only initially have to make it tight along the line of staples with the first row, not perpendicular to them as there's nothing yet to pull against. then evenly pull it tight on the opposite side if that makes sense. With a pattern it might help to start in the middle? Just a thought.

I think that bird pattern is so light and airy that it hardly counts as a pattern at all. And that fabric is perfect with it.

That wallpaper would be so darling in a nursery too! The headboard pattern is definitely giving me boho vibes, think it would look really nice against a terracotta/burnt orange accent wall as well with the black metal sconce accent 😍
