Slipcovers.....

Boy...3 yards of Schumacher fabric has everyone in a dither...the same dither I was in when I tried to figure out how to use it in my house.....first.  I mean after all it is about me :)  I wish I was like Oprah and had 3 yards for everyone.  

Just curious...do you enter a giveaway even if it is not something that will fit in your home???  Or do you leave it for the ones who would stab their mothers to win?

I am afraid todays post will not help anyone outside the Atlanta area...sorry.  It is about slipcovers and I am going to share a great source with you at the end of this post.  STOP.....read first people.    Everyone is probably out Christmas shopping today anyway....

First, we must start with just a few pictures because let's face it you guy's will be gone faster than 50% off Christmas decor without visual stimulation.

OK...these are not slipcovers but I wanted to tell you about the different skirts you can use when recovering or slipcovering a piece of furniture.  This is called a waterfall skirt.  One of my favorites.  I think it gives a chair or sofa nice clean lines.

Another view of the same style skirt.

Here is an example of what NOT to do....

I know this is not a slipcover but look how short the skirt is....now go back up the the other picture and see how graceful and pretty it looks with a longer skirt.

You can also NOT do cording but use a french seam instead.  Se above picture of chair and ottoman...no cording.

Here are a few more pictures I lifted from Cozy Cottage Slipcovers.  
She is located in Ohio.

Nice addition of the added pleat...which gives it a more casual look.

Love the ticking....

Here are just a few more images.....duh...like you can't go on Pinterest and see slipcovers until your eyes start to bleed.  But just in case you just woke up from a coma and have never seen them.......

No cording.....

I am using that style a lot now.  Just gives it a more modern look.

OK...so see the cording on this cushion????  Well I had the cushions remade without cording and this is just a little preview of the makeover that is happening at Casa Sha Sham right now!!!  

Uh huh.....I should finish them up [I have 2] this weekend so you will just have to check back soon.

Also...this might be the fabric I am using....

Notice I did not actually put a specific day that they will be done.  I'm not crazy.  One little distraction can totally derail my good intentions.

*******Ok...back to slipcovers.....I have a guy who will come to your house and  do everything there....Yep...no having to take the furniture out of your home.  SERIOUS!********

He is really good.

So here is the link.  His name is Jim Brown.  770 516 0841.......Atlanta.  You will not be disappointed.  I am thinking black and white ticking for my next set.

Don't forget about that little giveaway.....

Probably pick a winner on Friday???


Off to continue spray painting......
