Custom Creations

This month’s Dallas Morning News home team feature is all about tips and inspiration for creating custom pieces.

“Custom furnishings and finishings are the ultimate in DIY: Design it yourself.  Tailor-made options  not only  enhance the look of the space, they can also help a room work better.

Whether you’re after more storage, trying fill an odd-shaped nook or working to find a shade that nobody seems to offer, consider custom.  You might be surprised at all the options that are available just by asking. ”

“Before your undertake a custom project, make sure it’s worth it to you, Abbe Fenimore says. When it comes to re-imagining a chair, the costs can add up. By the time you purchase the fabric, replace the cushions, refinish the legs and pay for upholstery, your bargain becomes a major splurge, she says.

“Sometimes those fabulous chairs you snagged at a vintage store for $50 each can break your budget,” she warns.

But that shouldn’t necessarily stop you from going for it.

“I’d say these gorgeous ladies were worth every penny!” Fenimore said of a Louis-style pair of chairs that were recovered in pink velvet and treated to soft metallic paint on the woodwork.

If an early bedtime is wrong, I don't want to be right. Double-tap if you're an early bird like me.

We left a lot behind in the dumpster fire of a year that was 2020. But one thing that I'm committed to keeping? Bold design.

We don't get fireplace weather often here in Dallas, but when we do, you can find me curled up on the sofa with my girls, bingeing something on @hbomax. Which leads me to a very important question: To TV in the bedroom or not to TV in the bedroom? Cast your vote in the comments.
