I did these pair of wingbacks for a past client. She loves white and Shabby Chic. She was given a pair of wingbacks from her mother-in-law. She loved them, but they were starting to show wear and tear. So she got some white duck cloth and a Rachel Ashwell blue/cream stripe fabric and lots of lining. She wanted both chairs lined to help cover the embroidery and to make them wear longer with her kids.

Here is the before…

Here is the after on one of them…white duck cloth lined with “telephone arms”…at least that’s what I call them. The skirt is raw silk. I did a 1.5” blind hem on the skirt to give it some weight.

Front…showing part of the arms and the cushion.

I love the blue skirt on the bottom.

Side view.

Second chair after…blue/cream stipe with no skirt and lined of course.

Telephone arms…..I run the vertical seam on the front of the arm to connect the outside arm and the inside arm.

Another after….

Shot of the room…with cream loveseat.

I love all her dark woods and antiques with the white and light blue.

Close up of first chair skirt. I liked that she did each chair different and made the room look more eclectic.

Side note— I think I am going through race withdrawls, Vegas Ragnar is in two weeks from tomorrow and I am not on a team….yet.  I really think I want to run. So if any of you need a runner, let me know.

Side note #2— I now have a “Slipcovers by Shelley”  Facebook Page. Come “like” my page if you want to follow me on facebook.

Linking up to Miss Mustard Seed

This client had this large oversized chair that she wanted to use in the seating area right off her master bedroom. She loves the soft colors of shabby chic decor, so she went with a large stripe of cream/brown/turquoise.

Here is the chair before..

Here it is after…alot more fun and interesting than the cream solid fabric of the before.

After…

Front of arm….of course all the stripes are matched up.

Here’s what it looks like in the room!

Side note- This past weekend Heber took the boys up to the cabin to put up the gutter on the back of our newly laid roof, I had finished painting the bathroom at the cabin the day before and decided to stay home to clean out the boys room and the basement family room. Took me 6 hours! I threw out 3 bags of crap, and organized.

Much to my surprise, when the boys got home…Logan (11 yr old) informed me they hung the turquoise beadboard on the ceiling in the bathroom at the cabin!!! I was super excited, now I can’t wait to go up and see it and finish putting up the trim. Heber took a few pics…but they were blurry and not blog worthy.

This is the OTTOMAN THAT I COVET!!! My client ordered her fabric from Serena and Lily. I think I might NEED some of it. It would be beautiful on pillows in my front room.

Here is her ottoman before….Dark Leather, she wanted to add more fabric to the room. Since I love gray, I agreed.

She wanted to leave the dark legs exposed and just cover the top with piping along the top and bottom.

Of course there was matching involved.

We took pics in her garage, because she was in a hurry and needed to put her little one down for a nap. I wish I could’ve seen it in the room! This was the same client that had me do the Gray Hexagon Ottoman as seen below.

                            

    

Here is the yellow and gray fabric I bought on my trip in North Carolina….I am going to redo my ottoman in this. So yellow and gray with a pop of turquoise on my pillows. I’ve been doing all these fun ottomans for everyone else, and I decided I need one too!
See don’t you think this gray diamond fabric will work well with it?
