The Griffith's Purchased a glider desined to wear a slipcover. I made this one custom for them without cording or a skirt to be inexpensive and practical for laundering as Logan grows older. They will enjoy this in future nurseries and other rooms of the house later on because it will always be clean and bright due to the durable duck cloth cover. Material cost less than $35 and my fee was around $100 for the chair and ottoman - finished in one day while they were both at work. Thanks for the photo guys!Thursday, June 18, 2009

Black, White and Hot Pink!! w/ a Glider
The is a "before" picture of a Glider that was just fine. It just did not coordinate with the new Baby's bedding, so we slipcovered it with inexpensive duckcloth. 
Here is the "After" picture. It now matches the new bedding featured below perfectly! They can remove the slipcover to return to the original chair at any time they wish. This chair and ottoman slipcover with no cording or skirt cost $100.

I wish I had taken a close up of the ruffled hot pink trim we found at textile fabrics. It's like a tuxedo ruffle. It matches our ties perfectly. White is scarey to think about for children's bedding but this will wash well in cold water and air dried. The large black dot is actually outdoor material so it is especially durable. 
I love this simple combination for a black bed!
I did not get to see these in the Black Rod Iron bed they were made for so I placed them on the edge of my son's toddler bed for the effect. I love this combination for the second baby girl in this family. Sweet Baby Girl #2 will be born in Arizona! Good Luck Hardins!

White minky dot for the interior is soft for the baby and the large black dot will pop through the black rungs of the crib. Inexpensive hot pink ribbon was easily sewn-on for the ties and coordinates well with the bright stripe in the ruffled crib skirt.
The Miller's New Nursery!
Elliot will enjoy the view from her window framed by these new panels lined with black out material for afternoon napping. The existing blinds do most the work. This material was a splurge so we did half widths for the panels with a small pinched pleat and a sewn-on metal ring.
This is a view of the crib skirt which ties everything together. We repeated the dot from the bumpers on the trim of the pale pink pickay. The thick black ric-rac pops the combination and matches the crib.
Ben and Beth had the room painted the exactgreen from one of the dots in the bumpers. We made cuffs with upholstered buttons for a more tailored look instead of ties. First time I have done this and I really like the look for a change. The interior of the bumpers is the solid pink from the crib's skirt.
Hopefully there will be many quiet nights surrounded by sleepy pugs in this precious room.

Pair of New Chairs ~ Slipcovered
BEFORE~ These matching chairs are remnants from the early eighties. I have cut out the attached back cushions and removed the seat cushions for recovering in new clean material. I cut off the original box pleated skirt as well, so these are the bodies of the chairs bar bones. 
AFTER - We have less than $40 in material because the Murries chose an inexpensive duck cloth that is fully washable and dog friendly. Now the chairs look fresh and new for their new home in East Nashville with gorgeous hardwood floors!
What a transformation! Who knew hand-me-down furniture could look so good? These slipcovers have no cording or skirts so they were extremly affordable to make as well. $90 a piece plus the cost of material.
