White Denim Loveseat with ruffled skirt

by

Loveseat –BEFORE

 Loveseat–AFTER, she was wanting a change. I loved her wood floors that were white washed.

English rolled arms are my favorite…. I did a 1 1/2″ blind hem on the skirt and gathered it. The denim didn’t hang well with the gathers, so I ironed the gathers down, so they’d lay better.

I followed the original lines of the loveseat and piped down the center front.

Side Note– I am taking December off, so I am on the home stretch…just finishing up 16 parson chairs, and then 2 more chairs and an ottoman!
I am outgrowing my current work room in my basement and have decided to convert our garage to my new work room—so that will be my (Heber’s) December project. I am pretty excited about this…just the thought of unloading furniture from the driveway straight into my workroom instead of hauling all the pieces down stairs is AMAZING!

Camille’s Front Room UPDATE

by

I helped Camille about 2 years ago with her front room….which she loved. But lately she was wanting to update it just a bit. 
Front room—from 2 years ago (BEFORE)
Free Ottoman I picked up on my local Facebook yardsale page. I wanted to keep it for myself, but after realizing I didn’t have a spot for it and it sat in my spare room for 4 months—I offered it to Camille.  I LOVE round ottomans.

AFTER–
Here’s what we ended up with…. She kept her main pieces (gray couch and paisley chair). We added a new rug, new pillows, and a round ottoman.

She also found a mantle on KSL.com for $50. The rug is from www.rugsusa.com. and the gray houndstooth ottoman fabric came from www.fabric.com for $7/yd.

How beautiful did her room turn out??? I LOVE IT! I happened to see the bird fabric on the pillows at our local fabric store the week before she ordered her rug, luckily…they still had a little left.

My client had this large slipcovered chocolate brown sectional, but because the way this room faces, it doesn’t get much light. She wanted the room to feel lighter. She chose a cream duck cloth and prewashed 50yds of it

Sectional–BEFORE

 She kept her existing pillows— I loved the light blue color of her walls!

So much brighter! Best part is she can switch between both slipcovers to change up her look (summer and winter)

Side note–

We’ve been saving up since we paid off the cabin to pay cash for Heber’s new car…which we might be getting this week! I am bit excited, this will be the first time we have paid cash for a car (my dream come true…besides staying at a beach house for Christmas)!

 I don’t like things to go to waste–so I am feeling a bit anxious that his current car is still running (230,000 miles), so part of me feels like we should wait till it dies. On the other hand we found an awesome deal! So sometimes it’s better to be prepared and buy on your own terms. Right?
