Couch–AFTER

She had amazing silk drapes that were tan and light blue that framed the window with the couch. LOVED it!

Camel color felted wool. Lots of texture and it was soft and washed up AMAZINGLY! It was also a bit heavier…so it covered the tufting well.

She loved the shape of the couch because it fit perfectly in her window nook. So instead of trying to find some bulky new couch that didn’t fit, she hired me to slipcover the one she had.

Front of the arm (they call these English rolled arms)

No skirt, just ended it with piping and topstitched it up.

Cushions…check out those stripes…I had to make sure the diagonal on the band was matching up as well.

SIDE NOTE #1

Today is our 15 yr anniversary!

 Our Wedding Day!

Here is a pic from our anniversary date a few days ago…we went to the outdoor theatre at Sundance to see “7 Brides for 7 Brothers”. Then we headed up to our cabin for the night. The next day we rented tubes and floated down the Provo river. Awesome date! I love this man!

Heber used to work at Sundance when we were dating, so we had spent a lot of time there. I used to meet up with him and ride in the snow cat with him while he groomed the ski slopes. He taught me how to ski (I hated going fast), so we did cross country skiing for awhile until I got used to it.

 He used to take me and my sisters to the outdoor movies. We’d go to the Grill Room for dinner. He’d take me on the snow mobiles, and the ski lift, and hiking. He even proposed at an overlook of Stewart Falls.

Here is a pic of the settee BEFORE. My mom came over and saw this in my work room and fell in love with it…she loved the fabric as is. Sorry mama…it got recovered with drop cloth.

I didn’t get before pics of the wing backs….I was dealing with a time issue- I only put so much $ in the parking meter out front. I was lucky enough to find a double spot to fit my car and trailer. The wing backs were peach velvet and gray velvet.

Here is one of the wingbacks AFTER with french welting (piping without the cording and kiss pleats on the corners). Forgive the wrinkles…I transport in bags, so it takes a few days for the wrinkles to fall out.

This store opened yesterday. All these pics were from about a week ago, when they were still in crunch time trying to finish all the construction details! I’ll have to stop back in and see the finished product.

AFTER—wingbacks were all pushed to the side for the construction men to do their work.

Settee–AFTER–kiss pleat on the front corner before I dropped the pleated skirt.

This building is AMAZING!!!

Check out those stairs at the far end of the pic!

Whole room

Close up showing the kiss pleats.

Even french welting joining the inside arm to the inside wing….just kind of finishes it off.

Here are some more props for the store.

SIDE NOTE #1

Last week we headed to Idaho to raft the Payette River with my sisters in laws—who are rafting junkies! Her husband just opened a rafting store in SLC, UT with his brother.

Anyhow half way to Idaho, Heber wakes me up to tell me he forgot to throw our sleeping bags in the car (we were gonna camp out for 3 nights). So my mind started working trying to figure out if we knew anyone in Idaho that we could borrow sleeping bags from, so we didn’t have to buy new ones.

I remembered Amy lived in Idaho. She bought my Slipcover DVD about a year and a half ago and has started her own business, we talk from time to time and Facebook each other. So I called her up, and she was nice enough to borrow us some sleeping bags! So we finally got to meet in person!

Here I am with Amy in her front yard.

The following are all pics from rafting the Payette River!

I am on the back of the raft holding on!
