Vintage Navajo Rug: UpCycle-able?


I was quite distraught about this.....


valuable vintage Navajo Rug of mine that
got damaged in storage


estimates to repair the damage were in the
thousands of $$$



...until I saw these!


really fun sofa and chair upholstered
in antique Tunisian kilim fragments...
very chic in this room!




none other than the beloved French interior designer Madelaine Castaing
loved these tribal rugs too and used them with abandon!

from Jeanne-Aelia, my dear friend at Through the French Eye of Design



French designer Pierre Yovanovitch used kilim remnants
to add texture and drama to a simple interior



a very "kilim-like" Missoni fabric upholstering the
venerable Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman

from 3rings


Now there isn't an ottoman or chair anywhere that's safe with me! Wouldn't my damaged rug look fabulous as a pouf? or covering a clean-lined modern chair like this one?

What do you think? Ideas, please, brilliant readers!!
