Beautiful Transformation



This is a great before and after picture. I unzipped the attached cushion and made a separate cushion cover which gave the chair a fresh new look. The customer chose the same fabric as was chosen for the couch slipcover and now the living room looks pulled together. The customer was able to use the furniture she already had which was still in good shape.

Chic Unique


After the Summer Market, I brought the slipcovered furniture back to my workroom. I was really hoping to sell all of it at the show, however I ended up having to bring everything back. I was in desperate need of freeing some space in my workroom, so I called Carrin Andress, owner of Chic Unique in Chagrin Falls, and she agreed to put my slipcovered furniture on consignment in her shop. Chic Unique is a great shop found inside Stash Style at 46 North Main Street, Chagrin Falls, OH. She posseses such great style and carries a wide variety of beautiful vintage items. She usually offers a lot of white painted furniture, which I love. I love everything in her shop. I knew my slipcovers would fit in with her unique style. Not only is it great to clear out my workroom but it is great exposure. Here are some pictures of my slipcovers displayed in her shop.

If you are ever in historic Chagrin Falls, Ohio be sure to visit Stash Style!!

Thank you Carrin!




Here is my niece Cassandra carrying a bag of goodies we bought, and some other views of different areas of Stash Style..

Summer Market 2009

We ended up having great weather. It only rained once in the morning. There was live music, food, and some great vendors providing jewelry, art, aprons, headbands, beautiful custom totes, garden art, antiques, and much more.


Here is all of the furniture that I at my Summer Market booth.

Cozy Cottage Slipcover article in Sunday Paper


A couple weeks ago I was contacted by Jill Sell of the Cleveland Plain Dealer for a slipcover article she was working on. I was so excited to be interviewed. You can read the article at this Plain Dealer Link

Fernleaf Textured Fabric


The fabric used on this beautiful sofa slipcover is the Natural Fernleaf pattern from Summerhouse Textiles. The fabric became softer and the texture really emerged after washing.

I have added Summerhouse Textile's line of fabrics to the list of fabrics I offer. These 100% cotton textured fabrics from Summerhouse Textiles are great to use for slipcovers.
