Upholstered Walls

This weekend I decided to finally work on a project that I have been putting off since January. When I redecorated my study I ordered extra drapery fabric to upholster the wood panels below the chair rail. I decided to use the back side of the fabric because it had more of the green color. My first idea was to cut and cover boards to attach to the wall. I think that is what was holding me up so I decided to do it this way instead...............

I cut pieces of batting and pieces of fabric the exact size of the opening and stapled it right to the wall with my staple gun. One day I'm sure I'll regret that but I'll deal with that when the time comes ! I had to cut out holes for the outlets and phone jacks.

Then I glued a decorative cording along the edges to cover the staples and finish it off.
Here are more photos of the room........



I'm not completely finished with the cording but I wanted to post this at BNOP for Metamorphosis Monday. You can get an idea of what it will look like.
