My client got this great tan/cream Ikat. I decided to do a waterfall skirt since we were tight on fabric and the fabric had a pretty large repeat. I forgot to get a before pic…Basically it was a muslin covered chair that was intended to have a slipcover.
AFTER–The morning light wasn’t kind to my photos! Anyhow you get the idea! I added some extra down fill to the back pillows. They were flat and hard poly fill. I LOVE down pillows, they make your furniture look better.
Blind hem and matching of course! After 12 years of making slipcovers, I finally came up with a painless way of matching that doesn’t require you to keep putting the slipcover on and off to match repeats. I included these instructions in my “Get it Covered”–Advanced Slipcover Guide. It’s like Magic, I promise! I actually look forward to matching large repeats now.
SIDE NOTE–
Camille and I have started staging homes that are for sale. Here is a link to our Styling Cents Facebook Page. Here are a few before and after pics of a job we did a few weeks ago. Our theory is to use what you have and not spend all your $!
BEFORE—Front room
AFTER–Front Room—We were so EXCITED with the way this room turned out. The owner was in awe–“It looks like a model home, I couldn’t be happier”. We used their furniture (couch and chairs) and brought in a coffee table, little bookshelf, end table, pillows, lamps, and nick backs from our stash. IT’s all about using what you have and giving it some WOW factor.
BEDROOM–BEFORE— The bedroom was dark and dated. We wanted to freshen it up a bit and make it more modern.
AFTER–We found a king white coverlet in their linen closet, brought up their rug from downstairs, pulled the chair in from the loft, hung a mirror we found in the hallway, and replaced their curtains with a fresh set of white and a set of grey curtains to fill in the bay window. We tried to make it work with the chocolate brown wall, but in the end we had the homeowner paint it–MUCH BETTER!
We brought lamps, pillows and accessories from our stash to finish it off. Now that’s a MASTER BEDROOM!!!

The chair looks fabulous, so do your before and after styling shots. I live in New Zealand which is a shame as I would love some covers for my sofa. I haven’t found anyone locally that do loose covers but after seeing your lovely chair above I am going to look around a bit more.
