This client had white slipcovers for her couch and chair, and she had really wanted gray. She attempted using rit dye on one of them, and it turned purple, so she decided to just start over and buy gray fabric.

Couch and chair before….muslin covered furniture. Her original white slipcovers had a skirt to the floor, so she decided for a change to let the legs show and not do a skirt.

Chair after in the charcoal gray fabric. I loved her yellow curtains!

Side note- Thanksgiving was lots of fun…we spent it in Reno with most of my family. Five out of the six siblings and 18 grandkids. Lots of food, shopping, indoor swimming, and paintball shooting. Then our car broke down in Wendover, NV on the way home about midnight and 27 degrees outside. It ended up being the transmission, and we had to stay the night in a hotel and rent a car to get the rest of the way home. Then four days later Heber got to drive the rental car back to pick up our car. I love renting smoke smelling and dog hair covered cars for $60/ day. They didn’t offer one way rentals, so we had to rent it for 4 days till our car was done. AWESOME!

Erin was ready to change it up…. she was ready for a new look, she was tired of her floral slipcover. She wanted a tan neutral linen type fabric and couldn’t find it at Home Fabrics, so she got creative and saw some Ikat and Southwestern fabric that was neutral tan on the wrong side and had the texture she wanted. She bought that and we used the wrong side of the fabric.

Couch before….

Chair before….worn and the fabric was torn in a few places. I was so excited about the shape of the chair though….BEATIFUL!!! I loved the lines of where the piping was, down the inside back and horizontal at the top of the arm

I knew the way these chairs were shaped, the slipcover would tend to pull and slide forward. So I stapled some velcro on the upper outside back and sewed the other side to the seam allowance on the top back.

Couch after….tan solid, we went with no skirt to show the nice turned dark legs.

I loved the legs.

The scale of these chairs were perfect for the room, they replaced some lower smaller chairs.

We decided to do skirts on the chairs to hide the blonde wood legs, since they were quite different from the couch legs. Sorry about wrinkles…the fabric was prewashed and I bag everything up and deliver, so wrinkles happen and they tend to fall out later.

Front of the arm on the chairs. It’s like a mini english rolled arm. LOVE these arms

Whole room. Erin is working hard on finding some blue fabrics for pillows and a new rug. She showed me bunches of pictures and it’s going to look awesome, once it’s all done. But for now at least she has the bases done. She promised to send pics once it’s all together.

I followed the original chair and kept the piping where it was.

This is what the right side of her fabrics looked like…
