This chair was a fun challenge. I often have to ease my way into a chair....to get into the "zone". I start this process by inspecting the fabric for flaws and design, making the cording, cutting the pieces for the chair, loading bobbins of thread, getting my tools gathered in the different work areas, writing… Continue reading Striped Chair & Pattern Matching
Even in the midst of a pandemic (probably more so) we are looking around our house and noticing things we want to do to make them more cozy. Being confined to our homes has prompted us to jump start those "some day" projects into "now". Maria and her husband were well on there way to… Continue reading Cushion Revival
Well, this was a first (and hopefully the last) type of experience in delivering a finished slipcover. With the Coronavirus on the rise, the "normal" way of doing business suddenly got turned on it's head and forced us all to look at our processes a little differently. More on that later, but now on to… Continue reading Special Delivery (A Tale of Two Chairs)
Winter is pretty much behind us, with the exception of a few days here and there that seem to remind us that it has technically a few more days left. But the warm days forecasted in the future and the calendar officially turning to March certainly has us all thinking about getting ready for outdoor… Continue reading Cushions: Fit, Foam & Fabric (Are You Ready for Spring?)

Stacked on top of each other in the back corner of a garage and saved for another house, another time and another space, these two arm chairs were ready for a fresh and classic update. The very sturdy original chairs were upholstered in a gold paisley fabric that was thread barren on the arms. They… Continue reading Brushed Denim Slipcovers
Carolyn drove a long way to bring me her Ethan Allan couch, chair and ottoman. Though in perfect condition structurally, the fabric was showing signs of wear and needed some attention. She wanted a new casual look and definitely liked the idea of washing the covers to keep them fresh and clean. Before pictures....Ethan Allan… Continue reading Bull Denim Slipcovers
My client Jenny is in that familiar state of transition. You know, the time where your kids have all but left the nest and pursuing a life of their own but you're too young to retire just yet. Currently in a townhome, they do envision this a temporary place until the next phase. Even then,… Continue reading Slipcovers for a State of Transition
This wing chair sat quietly in the corner of this client's living room, unnoticed except for the fact that it was clearly didn't fit into the décor and color scheme, though it filled the need to fill a space. My client was in the midst of updating a lot of elements of her home and… Continue reading Wing Chair Update
The sunroom of this repeat customer just underwent a makeover, piece by piece. A couple of years ago I slipcovered the little yellow slipper chair in the bottom right corner, along with two yellow accent pillows. Recently she had a couple of chair cushions recovered for her sunroom. They went from a faded red stripe… Continue reading Sunroom Makeover
