More fun with ticking!

Another beautiful slipcover done in a traditional ticking fabric. I love the look of one long sofa cushion. It is calling me to snuggle up. With the customers permission I ended up cutting the original back cushions and pillow covers off. It looked much softer after they were removed. I love it so much that I want to make a slipcover in this same fabric for my own sofa.



Many cute slipcovers are featured including my settee slipcover done in ticking over on the Pink and Polka Dot Blog.

Having fun with Ticking!

My customer found this great settee at a house sale in her neighborhood for a steal. I had a lot of fun making this slipcover. The fabric had a nice stretch to it and was a dream to work with. The fabric had a nice weight to it and did not have to be lined.

Here is a before picture.



Wow! What a difference with the new slipcover! I love the little knife pleats.


The arm was a little tricky to work with but I liked the challenge.



Stay tuned for more fun with ticking. The next slipcover I am working on will be done in another ticking fabric in almost the same colors.

Thank you Kristi!!!

Slipcovered Settee

Today, I enjoyed visiting my friends at Chic Unique in Chagrin Falls. What appeals to me about Chic Unique, is that Carrin keeps the store looking fresh with a constant display of new items. This ensures that you'll never visit the same store twice, and always want to come back for more.

I brought her an adorable settee fitted with a soft white denim slipcover. I posted lots of pictures. Enjoy!

Here is the front window display of Stash Style that faces Main Street.


This is the beautiful slipcovered settee I delivered today. Although Carrin was in the middle of rearranging her items, I managed to get some pictures with her help.




An artistic picture by my niece Cassandra. Well, all the pictures are taken by her.



Stash Style added a Yarn section in a cozy nook in the back of the store. I love the way she uses drawers on the wall to display the yarn.



This great shade was in the yarn section.

Findlay Holiday Home Tour

Main Street looked like Christmas central at the Findlay Holiday Home Tour (minus the snow of course). I snapped a few additional pictures of the slipcovers. I only wish I could have spent more time in this beautiful town.

Although all of the homes were beautiful, I have to admit without bias, my customer's home stood out above the rest.





This is a peak through a doorway into the living room.










My customer's daughter has a blog called Bova Goods and If you would like to see more pictures of the beautiful homes on the tour check out her blog in the next couple days at Bova Goods

White Slipcovers with Mini Knife Pleats

I had a lot of fun working with my latest client. She wanted all white slipcovers with some cute knife pleat details. The wooden arm chair slipcover was inspired by a picture of a slipcover on the Country Living Magazine website.

Her home is going to be featured in the 2009 Biennial Holiday Homes Tour in Findlay, OH.

The slipcovers turned out beautiful!!

Here are some before and after photos. I included close up photos of the knife pleat details.



These Ethan Allen wingchairs were a real challenge to slipcover with the exposed wood and open backs. They have kind of a french country feel to them. I am so happy the way the slipcovers turned out. They are sooooooo beautiful! They are my favorite slipcovers so far.


Here is a picture of the open back with ties.

I will be attending the tour and I hope to get more pictures after the Living room is decorated for Christmas.

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.
