It snowed!!!

Just kidding! But I wonder what it would look like? It has been so long since we've seen snow...here in Utah.... But cute Laura reminded me of what the white stuff looked like with her chair and ottoman redo! She brought me this great chair and ottoman that she wanted to put in her grand kid's playroom and guess what came along with it...... White matelasse fabric! Actually she had 2 different patterns. We mixed it up with the cushions. This fabric was awesome to work with and I am loving the results! We did a simple box skirt on the chair and ottoman and I ran piping along the inside of the arms to give it a more finished look. Enjoy!

I love this!! and she did too!

This next one is not a before and after, but more of a "blank canvas"... So a sister to one of my friends from high school called me because she bought this rocker and ottoman for her baby's room but realized it would cost too much to redo so she bought a glider rocker and now needs to get rid of this. I have no need for it but I told her I bet I could get it sold for her! This chair is ready to be slipcovered! all it needs is some fun fabric and BAM!! brand new chair. It resembles the pottery barn rockers, so people...get your imaginations on!!






She is asking $99 for the pair. Her name is Kendra and her # is 801-369-0651. THe chair is located in Lehi!
If you love the idea of slipcovering it, this is what you need for me to do it:
around 13 yards of home decor fabric for both chair and ottoman, but depending on the skirt, you may need a little more or less. My labor on the pair will be $275. I do have 1 spot open at the end of this month and 1 in the middle of February...
If you have any questions feel free to contact me!

p.s. if anyone is looking for an awesome pair of swivel rockers to slipcover, these babies are amazing!!!! and cheap!

Pair of FUGLY chairs #2

So remember these.... the pairs of horrible carpet chairs, you have to scroll down a bit.. Well I finished the second one and boy oh boy I have one word...."Jealous!" The second I finished this chair i was ticked... I wanted it for me! Michelle had picked out 3 fabrics to work with for the chair and ottoman. We had issues with getting enough fabric so she mixed it up and made it funky and fresh! let me just remind you of the horribleness I had to start with. (never mind the red head riding her princess bike in the background. She is refuses to take off the princess jammie shirt she is wearing. its been on for 3 days now. thanks mom.... that how we roll)


She found an awesome mustard corduroy for her cushions, a neutral quilted brown fabric for the ottoman and a cool synthetic grey corduroy for the body of the chair and all the piping for the cushions, chair and ottoman. The piping pulls it all together. It will make more sense when she sends me pics of her completed room. I can't wait to see it, but till them my pictures will have to do...Now take a looksy!



I love it and the mustard and grey combo is my favorite!!
Next up... Nursery Fun! So this client happens to be my cousin's neighbor. She is expecting her second little girl any day now. I hope sooner than later for her sake! Anyways, she is in transition of moving her toddler to big girl bed and getting her nursery set up so bare with me on the pictures. She is going to send me some once she gets her curtain rods up. Back to the story... She needed 4 curtain panels made for the nursery that hang 8' tall, crib bumpers and a crib skirt and a coordinating pillow. In her toddlers room we made a long cushion for her wind seat with a matching valence as well as a few fun pillows to trow on the bench. The fabric she chose was AMAZING! I can't wait to see it all up in put together.
Here is a picture of the crib bumpers. We did 6 pieces that will tie together and a matching crib skirt.

In the same room she will have 4 curtain panels (fabric on the left...the one on the right is the valence for the other room) and a matching pillow.


Here is the bench cushion for her toddler room.

and then 2 of each of these pillows


I love it all! It makes me want to tackle so many projects around the house. Maybe... Anyways, next week I have to make cushion covers for a client who loves their leather sectional, but can stand to look at the warn, ripped and make shift patches for the cushions. I also have another chair and ottoman combo too. I still have a few spots open for this month but they are filling up fast so contact me if you are ready to go! Have a lovely rest of your saturday night. I know I will, Charles Barkley is on SNL so....gotta go!

Merry Christmas!!!

Yay!! Christmas is only a day and a half away and I am finally ready! I have been super busy trying to finish up half of my clients for the month before Christmas and I think I pulled off a Christmas Miracle! In the last 3 weeks I have slip covered 5 chairs, 1 couch 17 pillows, 1 ottoman and reupholstered a chair and ottoman combo.... Whew. After Christmas I swore I would take it off, but guess what....thats not gonna happen. I have to slipcover a chair and ottoman combo, 4 couch cushions and make baby bedding with coordinating curtain panels, pillows and a bench seat cushion and curtains and pillows for a toddler room. So please pray for me! Now get ready for some before and afters overload...

First up...Debbie. Oh how I love Debbie! We redid her front room in a more country feel, which is extremely appropriate. She live on 12 acres in the country! We also made a ton of pillows, but this is actually half of ehat she had originally. Her husband is happy about that. She used a ton of pillows to cover up the fabric on the sofa. i could not take them all away, that would just be rude... we also covered her ottoman in the family room with drop cloth as well as 4 other pillows. she is planning on stenciling them. Once she finished she will send pics!

Here are the chairs we did as well and the rest of her goodies..





Next up is Kathy, she brought me this chair that has been tortured with horrible slipcovers! We chucked them and started from scratch. She chose a green gingham fabric. So much better.
Before: Stripped to the bones...

Third....Carolee. She is in my ward and to be honest...one of my favorite people! She had 2 dining chairs that she wanted to get slip covered before her family came to town for Christmas. I was able to squeeze her in last minute. they turned out so stinking cute! she bought a great oatmeal linen to use. First of all, i was in love with the detergent she used, and second, i wanted to keep them for myself...

Fourth...is Michelle. Love her! She found a pair of super aweful chairs on ksl. I mean we are talking FUGLY! the upside was they each had some good qualities going for them. they each had an ottoman...and one had super awesome legs! She called me up to get my opinion and before I knew it they were at my house! now one of the sets i had to reupholser. She loved the idea of the button tufting, just not in its current state.... We did a solid white for the body of the chair and ottoman and a fun contrasting fabric for the cushion, buttons and piping. I really did not think i was gonna pull it off before christmas, but alas! It was a christmas miracle! she picked it up yesterday and loved it! I will work on the other chair after christmas, which will have another fun and funky flair to it.

Classic Country

So for the past week I have been working with this super darling client that lives in Grantsville. She lives in an awesome farm house on 12 acres. Um... basically my dream! anyways, she wanted a country revamp on a pair of wing back chairs. We discussed colors and patterns and then I drove out to see her with fabric samples in hand. She was able to pick out exactly what she wanted, so i grabbed a chair and got to work. her chairs were never really used so even though they were "old", they were better than new!
Before:

After:





She wanted to get rid of the floral pattern, so we did a green and burgundy plaid with a nuetral background and box pleat skirt. I love how they change the look of the chair! I will take a few more pics with the chairs in their proper place. i have to pin fit her couch while i am there and grab a few more pieces from her that she wants done.
I have another chair that i will post later today that i did over the weekend. I am booked solid for this month and part of january but i just cant seem to turn people away if they are ready to go. i guess it's the Christmas spirit or something! I will however NOT be working between Chrsitmas and New Years. So i say....

a suitable suit

My client brought me this chair she found on ksl. it was meant to be slipcoverd from the start. She found this awesome hounds tooth fabric at Hancock's for $4 a yard! Its actually a fabric made for suits, but hey it was super cheap so what did we do?? We made a slipcover out of it for the chair and ottoman. I was a little hesitant at first because the fabric had a different texture and weight compared to an upholstery or even home decor fabric. But holy cow is it soft!! It turned out really nice and quite spiffy if you ask me... i ran a strip of velcro under the chair to keep it in place. all i can say is this is a super tight fit! check it out!

After:




She absolutely loved it! She is now on the hunt for more fabric for other furniture she wants done! Love it.

Here are the pillows that i have left from Bijou...
These are 20"x20" they are $20 and come WITH the pillow forms!



The 2 pillows pictured together are polyfill forms and the other two are down fill forms.
This next one is my favorite!! It is $35. It is 26"x26" and comes with a down fill pillow form.

You can email, text or leave me a comment with your email if yo are interested in any of the pillows!
Also, I still have a few openings this month. i am waiting on a few clients to get their fabric so let me know if you are ready to go!

Side note...my brother's mother-in-law has an awesomr couch and 2 chairs she is selling that would be an awesome project! she got them from the di for her front room but decided not to use them once she got them home. i would take them in a heart beat but lets be honest, where am i gonna put them? I am happy to reupholster them if anyone wants them! I think she paid like $80 for the set!!! They will be amazing!!!
