Here was her couch BEFORE….beautiful light blue, but she wanted to slipcover it to also protect it from her kids.

Couch—AFTER….she wanted to keep the same lines with no skirt.

Here is the couch in her room…with two other chairs that I slipcovered for her last year.

I love the book cases and chandelier and her antique vibe.

This client is working on getting ready to have her daughter’s wedding reception at her house. She wanted to slipcover two loveseats and a chair and ottoman out of vintage chenille bedspreads that she collected from ebay and antique stores.

Here are the two loveseats BEFORE….she bought the second one the night before I came off craigslist…it was similar in size and shape of her other one.

Chair— BEFORE

Craigslist loveseat—BEFORE

Craigslist Loveseat—AFTER— she wanted to make the two loveseats looks similar, and the chair to be a bit different.

Front of loveseat….she bought inner lining that is used on curtains (feels like flannel) to line most of the bedspreads since some were a little thin. I lined the skirt, front of arms, cushions and pillows. I added 2″ to the length of the skirt so it would puddle.

Chair—AFTER— I used the original bedspread edging for the hem of the skirts on the chair and ottoman….so no lining on these two skirts.

Marcelle had me do the bottoms and the backs of the cushions in different colors, so she can flip them and have another look. The bottom of the chair cushion is out of purple/ white chenille bedspread and the back of the back cushion is out of yellow chenille.

Top of Ottoman. We used the same pink cotton piping everywhere, to tie it all together.

I centered and matched up the designs on the back cushions, so they were symmetrical. The top of the seat cushions and bands are out of a white matelesse.

Centered and matched up back cushions on the second loveseat.

Chair and ottoman—AFTER

Marcelle also hung chenille bedspreads on clip rings for her window treatments.

Chair–

I love how her whole room turned out and the vision she had! How Darling is this! She even started switching out her quilts on her quilt rack to coordinate.

They were so excited about their uniforms and the fact that their name is on their jerseys.

This client fell in love with this fabric and hoped we would have enough. There was only 5.5 yds of the paisley, so she bought some solid brown velvet fabric to use as the piping and anywhere else we needed.

The chair before was muslin covered and was meant to be slipcovered.

Chair–AFTER—I don’t know how…but we had enough fabric to get the chair and ottoman out of the paisley. I did the decking under the cushion on the chair out of the solid brown. It also helped that we didn’t do skirts on either of them.

The upper back was rounded so I “boxed” it along the top and did piping on both edges.

I also ran piping down the inside arm seam. The paisley chenille fabric shaped and bent really well on all the curves.

SIDE NOTE #1
We headed to St. George and Vegas for Spring break. We hiked at Snow Canyon. The boys loved climbing on all the rocks. On one of the hikes there were pioneer names written on the rocks out of axle grease.

One of my boys asked,  “Why did they write their names on the rock?”….my reply, “Why did you carve your name in the kitchen table?”

Here’s a pic of two of my boys.

Top of the hike. Me with the three boys.

The boys were obsessed with trying to catch lizards on our hikes….Here’s a pic of them trying to catch one. This pic makes me laugh really hard!

Besides hiking we went to the pool three times a day! The boys love to swim. Perfect spring break!

SIDE NOTE #2

Last time we were at the cabin…the boys made some swings underneath the cabin. They made three….one for each of them. They loved them.

They also made some bunkbeds in their fort at the cabin….pretty cool huh? They still need to finish their fort and get a roof on it.
