Couch—AFTER

Please forgive the wrinkles—I had it folded up in a bag for the 8 hour drive to Reno. Then I literally put it on and took pictures right before we headed home…Heber was in the car with the kids waiting for me.

She chose a beautiful white linen that draped perfectly.

Here’s her whole room—I slipcovered the 2 chairs a few years ago. Everytime they come up to visit, she throws a piece of furniture in her car for me to slipcover.

Side Note— Ran Red Rock Relay this past weekend with a bunch of people from my neighborhood. The race is from Brianhead Resort to Zions…188 miles with 12 people on your team.

Here we are at the finish line! I was in van 1 this time…which means I got to shower before van 2 finished the race.

Here I am at the start line with Heber.

Couch—BEFORE— great curvy lines!

FRont of Arm– she picked up some great throw pillows out of a flax printed linen.

 The back cushions—I kept the style the same as the original with the “kiss pleats” on the upper corners of them.

Here’s what I came up with. I made him a wallet out of some of my grandpa’s old shirts (his great grandpa). I even took a tag out of one of the shirts that had grandpa’s initials on it and sewed it on the inside as a label. Then I asked all my siblings and parents to chip in some cash to fill it up.

Couch–AFTER

She had amazing silk drapes that were tan and light blue that framed the window with the couch. LOVED it!

Camel color felted wool. Lots of texture and it was soft and washed up AMAZINGLY! It was also a bit heavier…so it covered the tufting well.

She loved the shape of the couch because it fit perfectly in her window nook. So instead of trying to find some bulky new couch that didn’t fit, she hired me to slipcover the one she had.

Front of the arm (they call these English rolled arms)

No skirt, just ended it with piping and topstitched it up.
