My client had this great couch sitting in the garage, but the slipcover was pretty damaged and worn. The underneath still looked great. She decided to have it slipcovered for her piano room in a great neutral grey and cream stripe.

BEFORE– dirty, stained, torn, and worn– but still a great piece!

AFTER–I loved this stripe! Such a great fabric to bring light and life to the newly decorated piano room

Side Notes–

 

 

  1. We sold our cabin and bought another condo rental up north next to Weber State University31349701_10216148084755314_2070358349035077632_n
  2. Our oldest son graduated and left to Brazil to serve a 2 year mission for our church. Ummm…that was a crazy, emotional few weeks before and after he left. I’d cry all the time. He’s doing much better after the first 3 weeks passed and he adjusted to his new surroundings and is now understanding Portuguese and is able to piece together some conversations. 
  3. We renovated our 2nd condo rental and new renters are moving in in a few weeks. We now own 3 condos and I think I’m content for now with that number. 33170068_10216340883295157_3592270570034561024_n
  4. My other two sons have taken up mountain biking and are loving it!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Man Couch

First off–I am booking into February 2018. Email me to get on my list slipcovershelley@yahoo.com. Remember I can only do local work to SLC/Provo, Utah. I need the furniture to custom fit it.

 

Over the summer amid all the crazy vacations, I did this couch for a very nice gentleman that had a vision of what he wanted. He did a great job pulling all his fabrics together.

Couch-BEFORE— It had a large floral chenille slipcover on it before. They loved how deep the couch was and how comfortable it was and wanted to keep it. So they decided to update it a bit to their new style.

Couch–AFTER! Modern fabric geometric print and suede cushions.

I made sure to match up all the stripes and we had to get creative with some of the pillows to maximize the leather hide.

Here is the leather hide. I had to work around holes and imperfections. I laid the back side of each cushion/ pillow to make the puzzle fit and get all the pieces I needed. My client was ecstatic with the way it all turned out and encompassed his vision.

 

SIDE NOTES

  1. Since July I’ve been helping my mom sell her house and downsize into a condo. It’s all coming together this week! The house and condo are both closing in a few days, then we can get her moved and settled in. The boys took full advantage last week and took her riding lawn mower for one more spin. 21270786_10214182346893096_2033253118396685895_n
  2. The boys are in full swing with running and mountain biking. This week we have a cross country meet in the morning and mountain bike race 2 hrs away in the afternoon. I’m just grateful, I can go to both! I love watching my boys race! Last weekend Heber raced with 2 of the boys in a relay mountain bike team and placed 3rd for all male team!

First off…I am booked till January 2018. Please email me to get on my list for January slipcovershelley@yahoo.com

 

IT has been a CRAZY summer, although I say that every year.. We camped Carlsbad State beach, went to a family reunion in Mcall, Idaho, as well as all the kids activities of mountain biking, practices, helping my mom sell her house,  etc.

 

I have been sewing non stop in between all these adventures. I’d share some photos, but my computer crashed last week and they are still trying to recover my files. I always post regularly on my Instagram account @slipcovershelley if you want to keep up with on going projects that I have there.

 

Side notes–here are a few of my favorite photos from our summer adventures
