This chair was for my client’s office. She had her husband take off the legs and build it up with 2×4’s and add some industrial wheels.

Here you can see the handyman work.

After…she chose a great floral cotton.

Front of chair, check out the bird matching on the front of the cushion!

I love the boxpleat skirt on this…I ended it about 1.5″ up from the floor. This way it hides most of the wheels, but it isn’t too long for the fabric to get caught. I love how Corey had a traditional wingback chair transformed into a great comfy office chair that MOVES!

-Side Note– I am heading out of town for a family reunion at Bear Lake tomorrow until July 11th. I most likely won’t be replying to emails until I return.

-Side Note– I am booked until the beginning of August, so if you want on my list email me heberj1@yahoo.com. Just a reminder the fall is a really busy time for me, so if you are wanting something done… don’t wait until October to find fabric.

This chair was for Gloria’s client…we did a pair of these for her. Here is the before a chair with bunnies and dogs on it.

After…she chose a thick blue suede type fabric, again I wasn’t sure if it was going to mold the curves correctly because the backing on the fabric was stiff, but it worked out.

Side Note— here are some pics from our trip to Carlsbad State beach.

Here’s Carter surfing all by himself…Heber rented two boards for a day, and the boys loved it so much he ended up buying a surf board from Costco while we were there. Then one of our neighbors had to strap it down on top of their car to get it home for us.

Here’s my Carter.

Here’s Logan surfing it up too. I was amazed at how fast they picked it up.

Here is Heber and I.

Luke stuck to the boogie boarding and shell collecting.

These were the stairs we had to walk down to the beach everyday. Luke would wake me up every morning ready with his bucket in hand ready to go walk the beach and collect shells. I used to be an avid shell collector when I was little (I grew up in Southern California). So I started to look forward to his darling wake up nudging efforts.

Here’s a picture that we got of the whole family right before we got in the car to drive home…no joke Luke wore that outfit everyday we were there, that BYU jersey was NASTY by the time we left.

This is a picture of our Van that ran Wasatch Back last weekend

Here I am right before running my first leg of 3.2 miles.

Side Note #2- I am booked until the end of July, email me if you want on my list.

Just got back from running Wasatch Back Relay this past weekend…had a blast like always. This race is from Logan to Park City, Ut. The best part was Heber pacing me on a bike during my ten mile night run at 3am on a trail beside Echo Resevoir with the full moon. My legs were 3.2 miles flat, 10 miles with a little bit of uphill, and 3.2 miles super steep the whole way (Ragnar hill).

Anyhow onto my slipcover post…this was for my upholster’s client. I loved the orange leather and joked about redoing one of my chairs for the clinet if I could keep this orange one.

They chose a dark denim for the main body and used a navy/white ticking stripe for the piping. I loved the way the contrasting piping framed the chair, and showed off the great lines of it.

Before…Orange Leather

After with dark denim with ticking stripe piping. Sorry another picture in the driveway…which means Heber was dropping this one off for me.

Sorry the ticking stripe doesn’t show so well in this pic.

I loved the lines of this chair…we did end up doing velcro under the very edge of the chair, and I sewed the other side of the velcro the the seam allowance on the piping along the bottom edge. This way it keeps the slipcover in place after it’s sat in. The leather made it sort of slippery and would slide up.

Back corner

Front edge…I angled the seam from the inside arm to the outer edge, so the bottom edge would look cleaner.
