Upholstery update - The finished bed!

No, your eyes aren't deceiving you, it is true!

I have finally finished!

After a good 18 months, i finally hammered in the last tack, glued on my double piping and stood back to admire my handy work.

Although i was pleased to finish, at first, i felt as though i never wanted to look at it ever again, but my husband was so enthusiastic when i bought it home, having waited forever for it, that he put it together that night and his enthusiasm was catching - I LOVE it!

I have already been up to Cologne and Cotton and picked up some special sheets for when we get our new bespoke mattress, complete with curved corners.

I still have another to do yet, but i have decided it can wait while i have a break from french antique beds and work on a little bucket chair instead.

Keep checking in for the little chair's progress. Hopefully some of the bed upholstery skills translate and i can be sitting back reading a book on it before the year is through. Keep your fingers crossed for me!
