I love the before and after on this one….HUGE transformation!

Before dated old wingback in some type of velour/velvet fabric…my client’s husband loves this chair and sits in it all the time. The old cushion’s foam was pretty old, so we ordered a down envelope and slid the existing foam in it. So the cushion went from 3″ thick to 5″ thick. I thought the squishy thicker cushion helped to bring this chair up to date.

After…. she chose a white denim fabric, and we did a 3/4 length skirt to let the bottom of the legs show. She’s planning on refinishing the legs.

Close up of wing.

Close up of inside arm…and those “telephone” arms…at least that’s what I call them.

Outside wing.

Here we are at the Hoover Dam…pretty cool, the boys loved it. We went early, because the pool didn’t open till 10 am. We decided we couldn’t happily hold the boys off for two hours, so we headed to the dam.

Here are my three boys at Red Rock hiking and climbing on all the big rocks.

Three days after we got home Heber went in to get his knees scoped (they have still been hurting him a bunch since he had his ACL replaced last August). So now he is recovering and limping around. He can no longer do any of the races with me…he’s pretty bummed. Me too, but he is going to come and be our driver for Wasatch Back in June.

I have been loving my new menswear slipcovers in the front room, but I felt like something was missing. I think it was because all my prints were small or solid. Then I remembered the second set of slipcovers I had made for my chairs years ago made of black and cream toile. I pulled them out to see if they’d work with everything else I had going on.

I thought they worked pretty well, so I am going to give my white set a break for a little while.

I had topstitched brown pom pom balls along the bottom edge.

I think the large print is what I needed for a little “wow” factor…or at least it’s fun to look at something different for a bit.

Here’s the whole room put together  (I missed the overflowing shoe basket in the corner…that has baseball gloves, bats, and back packs piled up on it)

I even threw on the steel blue/cream houndstooth too…just to see. Any opinions? Solid, pieced, or houndstooth?

This client had this old dated chair…and she bought some great ticking stripe to slipcover it in. We ordered some new wood legs for it as well, that will be coming this week. So we left the chair without a skirt so the legs will show. We chose to do a skirt on the ottoman and save some money (that way she only needed to order 4 legs instead of 8).

Chair before…great shape, but diamond blue fabric.

After…Darling gray/black ticking stripe.

Chair…I ended it with piping to show off the legs once they come.

I had to get a shot of the turquoise armoire….turquoise is on of my colors as well as green.

Another after.

My client posted about her new slipcover on her blog. Her blog is called House to Home. She’s got some other great stuff on there!

-Side Note- I am heading out of town tomorrow to enjoy the 80 degree weather in Vegas with the kids for spring break! Can’t wait to lounge poolside with my book…in my dreams right?
