John is on vacation this week, for the rest of the month actually, and we are working on some projects around the house. Here he is measuring the window in the stairwell to make a frame for an upholstered insert, when it was finished the temperature of the stairwell dropped a good 15-20 degrees right away!
The frame, was made with the intention of being upholstered and then fitted into the window using friction fit method. Frame was made out of reclaimed hardwood from an abandoned futon.
First layer of muslin stapled to the back side of the frame.
Second layer of muslin, on the face of the frame, is layed on the table and the back side of the frame is up. Lots of stapling and pulling is needed to make the piece look professional!
Fabric is folded under and pulled over to the back side and stapled into place.
Here it is snugly in place! Now to get some fabric painted, dyed, and other wise surfaced, drapes made and those installed!
