It looks great and very inviting. I want to do a window seat in my office area and this fabric type would work nicely. Thanks.

We built them in with some crown molding and shelving. I love all of the added storage! :)IHeart Organizinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05084013302005288836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-62630473729885614792014-07-21T14:37:12.971-05:002014-07-21T14:37:12.971-05:00Really great questions Lourdes! It really depends...Really great questions Lourdes! It really depends on the type of project you are working on, I always love using upholstery grade fabric or indoor/outdoor fabric for my projects {kids in the house}. I found the fabric I used for this project in the upholstery fabric area of JoAnn. I always just touch and pull on it to get an idea of how durable it will be for the type of project I am looking to use it for.<br /><br />We always try and give ourselves about an inch and a half around all edges so that we can fold over the fabric once before stapling it on the backside. You can see in greater details in this post here: http://iheartorganizing.blogspot.com/2012/04/playroom-progress-sweet-seating-part-1.html<br /><br />Best of luck with those chairs!IHeart Organizinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05084013302005288836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-81937121465322841792014-07-20T23:14:05.299-05:002014-07-20T23:14:05.299-05:00Love it Jen, love the colours in your studio, too ...Love it Jen, love the colours in your studio, too gorgeous!

Keep your eyes out at World Market and HomeGoods for shower curtains and window treatments, as it seems that it is a much less expensive option than high end floral fabrics. xoxo!IHeart Organizinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05084013302005288836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-85580719318252197312014-07-18T16:40:15.172-05:002014-07-18T16:40:15.172-05:00Hi Nicole!
