Linen Blend Slipcover

My latest slipcovers were done in a beautiful linen/cotton blend. This fabric was a dream to work with. It looked even better after it was washed. The back cushions were a little limp so I added a dacron wrap and plumped them back up. The cushions were good as new.

King Wings

This is a pair of beautiful King wing chairs. I nicknamed them "King Wings" because they are the tallest wing chairs I have seen. These are the kind of wing chairs you would find in a castle. My customer inherited these beauties and wanted to update the look. The fabric is a mini animal print on a linen fabric. She wanted them finished with a mini ruffle skirt. I really like the results.

Mini Knife Pleats


It seems that all the calls lately are for wing chairs. This was a fun set to do in white with a mini knife pleated skirt. Wing chairs look great in pairs and at a table make a cozy seating area. More wing chairs and a couple office chair slipcovers coming soon.

Linen Office Chair Slipcover

Lately, I have been creating a lot of office chair slipcovers for out-of-state customers. Here is a picture of one done in a beautiful linen fabric. She wanted a no frills slipcover with no skirt.



My customer painted the bottom of the chair white for a total transformation. I love the results!


This is a slipcovered chair that currently adorns her office. We used the same ruching (pleating) detail on the inside back of the office chair slipcover.

Chic Unique has moved!



My friend Carrin Andress owner of Chic Unique has relocated to downtown Elyria at 120 Middle Ave., Elyria, OH 44035. Carrin will open the store once a month for a big sale. Look at the crowd she had at her Grand Opening on November 20. She sold out in little over an hour.



Carrin had so many beautiful items. I love her displays and I must buy some mirror windows. I am hoping to finish some new slipcovered furniture for her next sale which will be on December 18. Finish your Christmas list with some unique items.
