No more blue sheets.

The sofa before

The sofa and loveseat with slipcovers

No more sheets covering the sofa and loveseat when the grandchildren come to visit. The deck outside the window extends almost to the shoreline; it's a very busy household all summer.

The solution is washable slipcovers of unbleached 10 ounce canvas.

Don't need words

What can I say??

Two pictures are worth 2000 words.

The Playroom Tiny Sofa

The 8-year-old young man saved up to buy this sofa himself. It's a few years old, now, and in need of a new cover- he picked out the new fabric. Next is an area rug to match.

Update the Southwest to classy..

My favorite slipcover fabric. Rococo from Fabricland. What a difference, no?? The little cushion is my signature cushion - I give one to most slipcover clients. I call it my 'gift with purchase' - just like Shoppers or the Bay...

The old cover was getting very warn thanks to the two little beauties in the foreground. The chennile we used, (cudos to Fabricland again), has a soft aqua background and a gorgeous bronze cut velvet design. Quite a change.

Up from the basement

Relegated to the basement. Still comfortable, still good design but really outdated fabric - and they didn't work together anyway.The finished chairs and sofa have been moved up to the main living room. They co-ordinate now, I re-designed the chair cushions to match the sofa

cushions. Very cosy.

Update.. Update

From early 90's Southwestern to up to the minute green and taupe chenille. The semi-attached cushions have been replaced with separate cushions. They feel a lot better now too.

Another Great Transformation

A very nice sofa, very beige, just not a lot of pizazz. The 'botanical' print and added skirt changed the look from quite modern to a more country, yet still modern, style of sofa. We're doing the two side chairs next. Maybe in a raspberry tweed..

Quite a transformation

This sofa now fits the decor of the room. Once again Fabricland was the source for the beautiful fabric.

From yucky tomato paste red to great.

I found this sofa, a Flextsteel, on sale. Regular price was $2899, on sale for $499.00. The color was just awful which is why, I'm sure, it was on sale. I slipcovered it in this lucious bronze tweedy fabric that was a bit pricey but was just exactly what I was looking for. I unstuffed the semi-attached back cushions, tacked the old cushion cover part down and made separate cushions instead. If it is  ever decided to go back to the original cover the cushion part is there. I can't think why anyone  would ever do that but it is also good for my clients to know that the sofa has not been damaged in any way with the slipcovering.

The Green Loveseat

The Gold Sofa Slipcover

This is the Gold Sofa, there is also a loveseat in the room and the wing back chair was done in a really garden-like floral. Once again Fabricland came through with just the right fabric at fantastic prices. The rococco on the sofa is a wide width fabric that is particularly well priced, and suited, to slipcovers
