This is for Camille’s (running partner) daughter’s room. A few months ago, Camillle and I went thrifting and searching for some fabric at the fabric store. Our original intent was to find a chair to slipcover for Reagan’s room. WE found a chair at ReStore, and Camille decided that she liked it enough to leave it alone and not slipcover it.

Then we headed to the fabric store to find fabric for a duvet cover. She fell in love with this red floral…kind of antiquey with a little bit of pink…that we were hoping would tie in the chair.

She bought enough fabric for the duvet, and remembered she had a pink flat sheet at home to put on the back. I always have tons of scraps and fabrics kicking around, so I told her we’d figure out pillows later….. I had enough red for a bedskirt and Euro pillow. I used this same red fabric on some red ruffled pillows I made at Christmas time.

We wanted to make it a little bit funky and more like a “little” girls room, so I tried to mix fabrics together that were a little unexpected. I think it worked!!! I loved the way it all came together.

I had just enough pink polka dot and turquoise ric-rac to make this pillow work. The ends are the red fabric cut on the bias (diagonal) 2″ strips and ruffled in the seam. No need to hem since on the bias it doesn’t fray a ton.

The pillow sham was made out of this yellow print that I have always loved and have kept on hand and haven’t used. I piped it out of some scrap piping that I found in my piping box.

I ruffled the Euro pillow out of the 2″ bias strips as well.

Here’s the chair we got and Camille painted the doll house light blue to tie in the ric rac on the bolster pillow. We are still plannning on doing a red ruffled pillow on the chair out of the small scraps of red that are left. The yarn flower picture on the wall is from Camille’s Grandma’s house….it works perfect!

I am a firm believer that beds need bedskirts! I love the gathered bedskirt in this room.

This client was ready to get rid of the country blue gingham that she’d had for about 10 years, and go a with basic white. Her back cushions were attatched, so I cut them off. They had a single row of piping originally (pillow style) and we ended up boxing them to give them a cleaner look.

When I cut off the back cushions the filling wasn’t contained…it was just loose polyfil that was coming out. I knew she was going to need to be able to take off the covers and wash them. So I made muslin covers to contain the batting.

Here is the before of the loveseat…blue/cream gingham.

After…white denim slipcovers with the back cushions “boxed” (2 rows of piping).

Couch…after

Couch and loveseat together.

You can barely see the lapped zipper on the back corner… just the way I like it.

Here’s the chair before…a little thread bare and worn through in a few spots. My client got this great heavy weight chenille type fabric from Joanns, during their 50% off sale last month.

Chair Before

Arms were worn through…but the chair was a great scale and super comfy and a nice size for the kids.

Here is the amazing after….I FELL IN LOVE with this chair. Look how amazing that fabric is on that shape of chair. I am not gonna lie…it took some thought to make all those wavy lines line up. I chose a stripe (orange/red) that I wanted to center, stuck pins in my chair down the center on the original fabric. Then when cutting out the cushions I centered the same stripe.

I ran piping along the seam where the back connected to the inside arm.

Another after. Sorry it’s a little blury I am getting used to my new 50 mm. lens.

Ottoman before…simple musin covered footstool

My client chose an orange chunky weave fabric for the ottoman and we did box pleats all the way around. LOVE IT!!!

I also did another chair for her out of brown fabric with small turquoise chenille dots on the fabric. All my pics turned out really bad, the lighting in the basement didn’t work out so well. I still wanted to show the fabrics together, I loved the eclectic non matchy fabrics together.

Here is a close up of the turquoise dot fabric.

Her kids were super excited about the new furniture and helped haul everything in from the trailer for me….and called dibs on their new favorite spots.

Side note–
I took my boys to Lamb Day in Fountain Green last weekend…Another parade with candy! My boys were ready with their bags. We hung out with Heber’s side of the family for the parade and had lunch. Heber and all his cousins used to be the ones in the road with their bags, now it’s all the grandkids.
