Slipcovered Loveseat



This was one of those really tired looking pieces that was majorly revived by a cheery yellow damask material. A custom slipcover, but you would never guess because the curves have been excentuated. This slipcover cannot be laundered but could be removed for a drycleaning.
I charged $175 for this piece due to the boxpleated skirt and cording along with the corded cushion. Also a busy print like this one makes construction a bit more difficult. A good deal on material could turn your ugly piece in to a show stopper for less than $200.

2 Double Width Panels w/ Interlining

These curtains are the new shot of drama to this living room. The clients wanted "bold" because it is what you see as you enter the home. A large set of double sliding doors let in hot sun and cool air in the winter. I included an insulating interlining to these silk panels with grommets along the header. The interlining will prevent cold air from seeping in during the winter and vice versa during the summer. The grommets keep the look from becoming too traditional for this young hip couple but, are extemely functional for pulling back and forth daily.

Antique Recovered Chairs


These are a pair of great antique chairs Rachel picked up at an estate sale for a steal! Somewhere in my phone I have the before pictures and they have come a long way with the silky, quilted material she chose to cover them. I lais a clean blue lining over all the work done so everything looks really clean and crisp. They make a great showing in her home!
