orla kiely’s fabrics and wallpapers seem to be a popular jumping off point for before & after projects these days. amber lined her shelves with orla’s paper, surya made cushions with her tablecloth, pink covered her fridge in her wallpaper, and now kelly decided to upgrade two pieces in her home with orla materials.
starting with an orla kiely tablecloth from target, kelly decided to make cushions for a thrift store chair she had. she did the upholstery herself and voila! an instantly chipper chair.
next up was kelly’s thrifted bar cart, which has “gross” 70s woodgrain panels on the top. instead of serving guests drinks with old woodgrain panels, kelly decided to use some leftover orla kiely wallpaper to make a simple upgrade. it’s not a dramatic change, but one i’m sure that in person looks even more impressive. thanks, kelly!
