Stools and Ottomans at ABC Carpet and Home
Serape Pillows by Catskillkiwi on Etsy
Mexican Serape blankets remind me of the summer time. We keep a couple folded in the back of our station wagon this time a year in case we stop at a park and need a picnic blanket. I found that chair pictured up top at the Rose Bowl years ago and it always had me thinking what a great material Serapes are for upholstering, too. Then when I recently came across those gorgeous stools and ottomans at ABC Carpet and Home I knew I’d have to do a post about this because it’s a gorgeous buy, but also a really simple and affordable DIY. I love the bright colors of the Serape Saltillo and I also love that these beautiful pieces can often be found at prices that don’t murder the bank account. The blankets above are all under $100 and could easily be used to upholster multiple items. I’ve also been seeing the serape pillows pop up in a few places lately and I think they add that geometric pop of color that can work well in both modern and more boho spaces. They just make me happy looking at them, yes? I also love the look of stools and ottomans in recovered in suzanis, sheepskins, and kantha quilts. What are your favorite types of textiles for upholstering?

Justina, I’m so happy I came across your blog (by way of a comment you posted on an Oh Joy post) – I love your aesthetic and feel like it’s very similar to mine. I’ll be following on Bloglovin’!
These are very charming and colourful absolutely fell in love with them.
I am also awaiting for my order to arrive from http://etsy.com/shop/summerofflowers. You may have a look at their kanthas and may find something suits your style.

I’m looking for chair cushions in serape. If I get you measurements can you make them? How much?
