My last day in Arizona after the whirlwind bedroom redo, we found this upholstery fabric and my mom decided that she wanted to reupholster her family room sofa.
Her sofa is a nice piece with down fill cushions, but the old upholstery was showing it’s age.
As with most decorating projects, one thing leads to another and within a week or so, mom was emailing me about thoughts and suggestions for “quick update” to the room:
I’ve been using this great fabric in the style of this Brunschwig & Fils ‘Dzhambul‘ fabric in a number of projects. It’s hard not to use it everywhere – great price, great weight, beautiful bright colors. It really goes in every room. Mom loved it instantly and we decided on some other colors for the room and also a graphic stripe for pillows:
The day bed needed an update (and the ottoman as well):
So I mailed my mom a couple of yards of this great velvet from my stash.
After my mom had painted the walls and finished all the reupholstery projects, she took a little trip to Home Goods and texted me photos of her favorite finds. Here are some of the pieces that made the cut.
A cute green and white pillow:
A totally glam white floor lamp (we added some navy trim to the shade):
This adorable garden stool:
Mom got a pair of these lamps, painted them red and added trim to new white drum shades.
My very favorite thing in the room is the suzani ottoman slipcover with the navy piping. It’s so nice that she can pull the fabric off periodically for a gentle wash.
My other favorite part of the room is the velvet daybed. So dreamy.
A few more resources:
Sunburst mirror is from Ballard
Orchids from Home Depot
Drapes from JC Penney
Striped pillows from IKEA
Yellow flower pillow from Target
Yellow frames from IKEA (mom painted these)
Antique mantle clock from Brussels Flea Market (bought it for 5 euros and it still chimes beautifully)
Seagrass Rug from Home Decorators

what a fresh new take on the room! Love it and it sounds like the "client" does too!
Love the ottoman! That's one of my favorite fabrics – my mom used it to make valances for our entryway. Calico Corners is selling it now, but Lewis & Sherron's price is much better.
It all looks fantastic, but I'm especially enamored of those red lamps!
love all the colors.I just wish i could sew
Lovely job! You and your mom make a great team ;-)
any idea where to find a similar ottoman?
Oh, that is heaven. Love the colour palette. And that blue velvet on the dybed is so perfect. Well done!!

I saw that fabric at Calico Corners the other day. Awesome! Now that I see it in real (blog) life I now that's it's perfect for some fan pleated drapes in my breakfast area!!!
very cheerful! I'm thinking a solid color off white throw folded long ways above the sofa would look great as well and perfect for snuggling.
A "Sofa Upholstering" tutorial would be great!
It looks fabulous Jenny! I always love your use of patterns. Thanks for sharing!
