My client had a set of scrolled back parson chairs that she wanted redone in white duck cloth. I did these awhile back and realized I never posted about them.
Chair–BEFORE
Chairs–AFTER–whole new look!
Did pleat on back corners only and wrapped a whole skirt section around the front to keep the look more simple.
My client wanted me to redo her swivel rocker that used to be her moms. It was the perfect shape and size to nestle next to her bed in the master bedroom.
Chair–BEFORE–lots of love. I tore of the skirt and cut off the attached upper cushion before slipcovering.
Chair–AFTER with box pleat skirt and separate back cushions.
I used velcro to keep the top back cushion from falling off.
Much better! I love that she was able to use something that had sentimental value. You can’t beat the comfort and scale of those old chairs!
SIDE NOTE–Summer’s about here! 2 more days of school! I’m gearing up for all the craziness summer has to offer! Scout camps, camping at the beach, family reunion on the Oregon coast, paddle boarding, bike rides to Chevron and staying at our cabin in Midway, Ut. I still have lots of availability at the cabin if you are interested! $50/night and you change the linens when you leave. Email me with your dates!
I’m excited to offer another slipcover workshop June 5-6! The last one went so well–I decided to schedule another one!
I have 15 years of slipcovering experience and would love to show you some tricks of the trade, whether you are interested in making your own slipcovers or aspire to start your own business at some point.
