I found this chair over ten years ago at a consignment shop and have had a love-hate relationship with it ever since. I love it and my husband hates it. Or at least he did. With the mini-makeover of my lake house basement master bedroom and in conjunction with our ongoing downsizing and merging of… Continue reading New Love for an Old Chair
I found these two chairs and ottoman for $100 with the intention of slipcovering them for my soon to be finished bonus room/workroom/she-shed/study/escape room at the lake. I was looking for matching club chairs that wouldn't be too big but would be comfortable enough to snuggle up on and were in good condition. Almost immediately after I got… Continue reading Bonus Chairs in Boucle’
I never considered myself the “wingback” type, but for an affordable $35 it seemed like a good buy and would help fill an empty room in our new home twenty one years ago. The seam on the pink cushion is busted but other than that it doesn’t look much different today than back then. The chair served… Continue reading Wings & the Test of Time
This pair of chairs is more "fabulous fuchsia" than "pretty in pink" with their unconventional piping color. But it totally works.
At some point in your life you probably have acquired a piece or two of furniture from your parents. A piece that was well used, familiar, and probably a little shabby looking (and not in a “shabby chic” sort of way). However, chances are the furniture was not the right color or look for your décor. As long… Continue reading White after Labor Day
Here is another example of a great patio furniture set that was in desperate need of a cushion update. The fabric was faded, worn, stained, dated and basically just needed an update. Because all of the cushions are custom fitted to this furniture with rounded edges and shaped to fit each piece perfectly, it made sense for… Continue reading Have cushions, will travel.
When you think of slipcovers, you typically think of a wingback, club chair, parson chair, side chair, benches, the list goes on. But let’s think outside the box for just a moment. My grandson was about to turn one and I received an idea for a birthday gift for him. His sister, Addy, had a… Continue reading Ben’s Big Boy Chair
When you buy a house (not new) your imagination runs wild and free on big plans to remodel or update. Initially I dreamt of gutting the basement master bathroom, replacing the huge shower, painting the vanity, doing something with the mirrors, maybe change the floor and add a soaker tub. If I was a true do-it-yourselfer, that wouldn’t… Continue reading Bathroom Rejuvenation
Terre was on a mission to pull together her living room for her daughter’s high school graduation and the faded striped chair and fraying ottoman either had to go or get a redo. The Pennsylvania House chair was in good shape except for the faded fabric and dated red stripe that didn’t go with her new… Continue reading Graduation
The pollen is done for the most part, and you have cleaned and re-cleaned the patios and porches to rid it of the fine yellow mist of gunk that seems to get into the tiniest of cracks. Now that this is behind us and warmer weather is finally here, it’s time to put out our porch patio… Continue reading Cushions
