No, this is NOT recycled furniture at all!! There is a specific designer who designs these pieces with specially designed quilts intended for upholstering. DSJ mentioned she would like to do this with garage sale/thrift shop finds. That's a whole different category from this type of furniture. But it would look really neat to upcycle an old chair with a quilted piece. The designer also designs a lot of the scroll type woodwork you see in the studio in the background painted white. She has done some of the bedroom furniture painted white you also see in her studio. It is sturdy and one-of-a-kind.
