This client decided to go from floral to a little more masculine. She chose a wool, menswear fabric. I love the way it turned out. She was ready to get rid of the couch when her designer talked her into slipcovering it. She was hesistant at the word slipcover… but went for it anyways. She LOVED it. It changed the whole feel of the room. So much better.

ooo I like that fabric!
Looks MUCH better! I always love seeing your before and afters…I really want to do mine.
OH…I forgot to ask, I’ve always wondered, when you do the slipcovers do you remove the original upholstry and cover the cushions and frame with muslin?
Uh WOW. Total switcharoo.
OMGosh Shelley,
AWWWWWWWEsome! Can I just say right now your work is just crazy good!
and every bit of the print lines up perfectly.. that would be impossible fabric for me to use, and you did a really wonderful job – gorgeous!
I love the fabric. It is so masculine!
that looks sooooo good. it does completely change things
Very nice! Great job balancing and matching – my weakness.

I am interested in the question that Brandi asked. Once the sofa is covered with the new gray fabric, I can’t see any indication of the welting that was on the floral fabric. So do you remove it?
The slipcover just lays over the top of the original floral. SO the original is left completely in tact. I did remove the back (that you lean on) cushion covers before I put the new covers on because the original had a single row of piping, instead of being boxed with two rows of piping. I didnt’ want to see the single row bulging piping through the fabric so I unzipped them and took them off.
Gorgeous – can you please tell us where you got the material, etc? I have been looking for this same material! Thanx

I LOVE IT. Very unique. Never seen anything like this. Good designer, great slipcover fabricator and very smart client.
okay, so you are AMAZING! I just sent you an email about a quote for my couch. I am so impressed with your ability! If you want a good laugh, come and check out my first experience with slipcovering… this is why I’m hiring someone to make one for the couch!

Do you have a tut for this couch? I have one very similar
Completely FANTASTIC!!
I’m stopping by from Tatertots and Jello. Just had to tell you how fabulous this couch makeover was!
It’s great to see a slipcover in a fabric other than white. I love this tailored look.
Love it!
