Custom Slipcover for Barrel Back Chair

This is a "Before" picture of a chair that had an attached buttoned-back cushion that I just removed. It is a nice chair from Ethan Allen, sitting with all kinds of potential in my clients garage. The material and style was outdated but the construction was still great. Here is a picture of the back of the Barrel-Back chair. Your eye follows the seaming down until you reach the box-pleated skirt. Now the back cushion is separate and not attached without the covered buttons for a cleaner, modern look.



We were able to cover the entire chair and 2 separate cushions with 4 yards. What an update! This gold damask reads as a neutral and could be used anywhere in the home. The slipcover is fully removeable and can be spot-cleaned however, with a material like this one we did not prewash. A like this one starts ay $90 and goes up $30 with each additional cushion. Deconstructing the back of the original design and creating a separate back pillow costs more as well.
