From Worn to Wow! Awesome Ideas in Upholstery

One of my goals for 2012 is to learn how to upholster. On my quest for ideas to spark my imagination I came across some beautiful and interesting pieces of revamped, reupholstered vintage furniture that I just had to share with you! 

Check out these beautiful chairs, sofas and benches that use modern fabric or unexpected color and texture combinations, along with multiple fabrics to create one of a kind, bohemian style.

If you put the Beatles on it, it's instantly awesome!
