#velvet couch

After months of patiently stalking fb marketplace and Craigslist, I have the velvet Article sectional I have been coveting for my library. Probably the biggest thrift score of the new house at 1/4 regular price.

Also. I started drawing out the plans for the shelves this weekend and we will finalize them and buy materials next weekend! I’m so excited. 30 years of dreaming about my very own library and now it’s going to happen. 🥹

I finally made a bit of progress on the couch today! The back is now tufted, but has yet to be stapled down. One thing I learned is that apparently, the pleats are always meant to face down so that dust doesn't get trapped in the creases. Clever!

The back: I used the foam that was cored out of the button-holes and bobbypins to tie down the buttons. My hope was that the bobbypins would distribute the weight across the foam and keep the buttons from tearing through the backing fabric.

I'm mostly happy with how it looks, but I do think I should have made the distance between the buttons on the fabric a bit shorter. Maybe that would have fixed the wrinkles and made it look more taught. Oh well--I think this is pretty good for my first go at diamond tufting :P

One thing I am pretty proud of is the seam that I had to make in order for the fabric to be wide enough to fit the back. I had it follow the line where the pleat would go so you can't even see it now! My pattern piece:

The seam puckered a bit because the fabric was so tricky to maneuver being so thick and all. Didn't end up mattering in the end, though, once it was all pleated up.

Library

The Nina Campbell sofa is covered in a Tissus d’Hélène corduroy, and the vintage armchairs are in a Nina Campbell green velvet (left) and a Lewis & Wood fabric. The curtains are of a Claremont twill with Nina Campbell braided trim, and the artworks include a 1970s Neil Forster portrait of Campbell’s late Yorkshire terriers, which Konig discovered at a junk shop in Wales.

Not a green velvet couch but will do. Not my party but I was tempted to crash it. Posh to perfection. Have a drink. Mind the chandelier... #3RHmusings

My favorite colors are black and purple 🖤💜! I've always dreamt of decorating my own home one day in these deep plum toned accents with preferably pops of gold ✨️.

This is a modern meets vintage style gothic inspired living space I found and it's bringing me pure spooky 👻 joy 😊!

I love this, I aspire to decorate similar to this 😍
