Shabby Chic chair


Before...old and dated, but very cute lines

After...I loved the soft floral of this fabric, it went well with the lines of the chair. My client loved the transformation and so did I. I love being able to take something old and dated and turn it into the focal piece of the room.

Before... I have done this chair 3 times now for this client.

After... She used quilts for the cushions, white linen for the mini ruffle on the cushions, white jaquard for the arms and skirt, and white denim for the rest. I loved the way it turned out.


We made the pillow out of a dish towel from anthropologie.

Old pink wingback

So I took a chair and ottoman slipcover back to this client and she loved it so much, she excused herself and showed back up hauling this old pink beauty up from her basement by herself and sent me on my way with it. The blue toile fabric covered the tufting perfectly and we added a 2.5" pleat ruffle on the bottom to match some pleat ruffle pillows we did for the couch.

My New Pillows for My Front Room

most of these fabrics I already had and I pieced them together. I did find the mini zebra print that I absolutely love. I was short on my white linen, so I used white linen napkins on the back of several pillows.
I was able to reuse my pillows that have a letter embroidered on them. I also bought a new green throw blanket, which came with a piece of ribbon tied around it, so I used the ribbon on some of the pillows too. I love when I can use what I have and turn it into something fabulous.

Green Velvet Arm Chair

Before... which I loved and didn't think I'd be able to make that great of an improvement, since I already loved it; but my client really wanted something she could take off and wash, so the original wouldn't get ruined.


After... my client chose this darling turquoise damask fabric, which turned out to be such a great contrast against the dark wood. We did a little one inch pleat ruffle along the bottom, so the legs wouldn't get covered up. There are velcro openings on the back under the arms, so the slipcover can come off. I loved the after on this one!!!

Provo Cottage

Check out these cute skirt options. The first one is pleated one direction 3.5" tall. The second skirt has a triple pleat on each corner and a single pleat in the center front and back. And again... I love the tan linen. These were for a client who is furnishing a cute cottage up Provo Canyon. These are just a few of her pieces. She replaced all her cushions with the down envelope cushions, and wanted the slipcovers to be a little more loose to give that soft inviting feeling.

Romantic Ranch

After Chair--Loved this one

So I just finished this job for a park city client... she called her style "Romantic Ranch" I loved it. I showed up and she had baskets of linens and fabric that she had collected. So we played around and put it all together. The green chair-- with the gathered skirt was made out of drapery panels and the white gathered skirt on the front that had crochet trim on it was from an old sheet. I love when you can use what you have and it turns out fabulous-- it makes it worth storing and collecting fabrics for years when you can turn it into something great. We also replaced all the cushions with down envelope cushions, which adds the the soft comfy look.

KSL.com wingbacks

My neighbor got these two wingback chairs off KSL.com for $20 each. We went for a neutral color with a pop of color on the piping and band of the skirt. I love these colors together. We also added a 3/4 length skirt. Check out the BEFORE and AFTER.

Old plaid freebie before and after

before
after
This client's neighbor was about to haul off this plaid chair to DI-- the fabric was old and wearing out-- but with the new slipcover it's perfect. She loved the idea of being able to wash the slipcover, which is why she thought this was a better alternative to reupholstry.

Before and two afters

Before
After #1

After #2-- This client decided to make two slipcovers for this one chair, so she can switch them out while she is washing the other one. Or just to change when she gets bored. Most of my own furniture has two outfits as well.
