Striped Oversized Chair

October 3, 2011 by Shelley

This client had this large oversized chair that she wanted to use in the seating area right off her master bedroom. She loves the soft colors of shabby chic decor, so she went with a large stripe of cream/brown/turquoise.

Here is the chair before..

Here it is after…alot more fun and interesting than the cream solid fabric of the before.

After…

Front of arm….of course all the stripes are matched up.

Outside arm

                            

Here’s what it looks like in the room!

Side note- This past weekend Heber took the boys up to the cabin to put up the gutter on the back of our newly laid roof, I had finished painting the bathroom at the cabin the day before and decided to stay home to clean out the boys room and the basement family room. Took me 6 hours! I threw out 3 bags of crap, and organized.

Much to my surprise, when the boys got home…Logan (11 yr old) informed me they hung the turquoise beadboard on the ceiling in the bathroom at the cabin!!! I was super excited, now I can’t wait to go up and see it and finish putting up the trim. Heber took a few pics…but they were blurry and not blog worthy.

Gray Diamond Ottoman

September 30, 2011 by Shelley

This is the OTTOMAN THAT I COVET!!! My client ordered her fabric from Serena and Lily. I think I might NEED some of it. It would be beautiful on pillows in my front room.

Here is her ottoman before….Dark Leather, she wanted to add more fabric to the room. Since I love gray, I agreed.

She wanted to leave the dark legs exposed and just cover the top with piping along the top and bottom.

Of course there was matching involved.

We took pics in her garage, because she was in a hurry and needed to put her little one down for a nap. I wish I could’ve seen it in the room! This was the same client that had me do the Gray Hexagon Ottoman as seen below.

                            

 
 
 
 

Here is the yellow and gray fabric I bought on my trip in North Carolina….I am going to redo my ottoman in this. So yellow and gray with a pop of turquoise on my pillows. I’ve been doing all these fun ottomans for everyone else, and I decided I need one too!
See don’t you think this gray diamond fabric will work well with it?

Tan Linen Wingbacks

September 26, 2011 by Shelley

This client was ready for a change…she was tired of her “gold” wingback chairs, so she bought some heavyweight tan linen. She wanted to keep the lines the same and let the legs show.

Wingback before…gold chenille.

After tan linen…she wanted more of the relaxed slipcover look rather than the formal look of the gold chenille.

Pair of wingbacks after.

They had interesting curved arms that I don’t see too often. I wasn’t sure how they were going to work out, but the linen shaped beautifully and worked well.

I did add the seam with piping on the front of the arms….it added a little detail, plus was functional for me. I think it would’ve been hard to wrap the same piece of fabric around from the inside arm to the outside arm and make it look right. So the inside arm is one piece and the outside arm is another piece, doing this also saved on fabric.

Band going down the wing.
