The Brick House's 'Bench Remix' entry adds another impressive element to the company's stellar DIY portfolio. Fur-clad furnishings are household staples for many, favored for their soft plush textures and ivory coloring.
This Bench Remix post was inspired by The Brick House curators itch to change his living space. With a constrained budget, he opted for this relatively painless at-home project as it requires few tools and minimal materials.
A spare Ikea rug was used as the base for the reupholstering. A simple lining up of the foot stool with the shaggy carpet allowed the writer to cut loosely along the edges. He then used a staple gun to secure the cloth to the wood, and voilà, a current, updated decor piece.
