Decorate with Burlap

Decorate with Burlap

Whether your home is cottage chic or traditional, the natural look of burlap adds casual style that's both modern and relaxed. Burlap's breezy charm and warm texture fit right in, from the kitchen to the bedroom. This inspiring book from the O'Neil Sisters (Jennifer and Kitty) shows that burlap is so easy and versatile you can sew it into curtains or cut it into a table runner. Dress it up with lace appliques for a garden wedding or shape it into roses for a rustic wreath. You can even personalize it with stamps and stencils for sophisticated accents that are one-of-a-kind, such as a vanity stool and a pocketed message board. Paired with basics like duck canvas and ticking, burlap has a timeless beauty that makes it a decorating classic.
