“If you take your time, your home

will reflect who you are”

HIGH STYLE June

drew the shapely

template for the

headboard in the

master suite then

gave it to an

upholsterer, who

used plywood, fiber-

fill, and inexpensive

linen to create the

dramatic effect.

BORDER EFFECT

The embroidered

crewel drapery fabric

was a splurge, but

June stretched the

yardage and its

impact by adding

borders in less

expensive fabric. iS)

Wait until the end of an antiques sale or auction to get the best prices.

Dealers don’t want to pack up everything to take home.

Find an upholsterer who will work on your furniture when business is

slow. If you’re not in a rush, you might be able to get a better deal.

Establish a relationship with a local antiques dealer who will alert you to

new inventory or possibly even consider layaway options.
