A Fun Antique Daybed/Chaise Project

I recently worked on an Antique Daybed Restoration for a collector who brought me only the beautifully refinished frame. Relying on a few reference photos, I upholstered the piece in a striking bright yellow damask.

Because it had a tight seat and many intricate frame components, each cut had to be precise. Comfort was paramount, since this is where the owner will settle in with a good book and morning coffee!

You can watch the entire process in my four live YouTube videos, where I discuss the materials, show my techniques, and explain the decisions I made along the way with our antique daybed restoration project. I hope you’ll enjoy seeing it all come together!
