Here is the after picture. A simple natural colored Duck Cloth fabric purchased at Jo Ann fabrics this love seat took just shy of 14 yards of 60" wide fabric. Love it!
Have a great week

A New Look for Elizabeth

Some fun chairs that have been in Elizabeth's family for a very long time. Here is the before picture

 And here is the after with some fun fall colors.  Simple lines with orange piping to finish it off.

 simple buttons at the arm fronts and Velcro at the back to make it easy to take off and clean if needed

Happy Fall.
Notes:  fabric purchaced at JoAnn Fabrics
5 yards main fabric and 1/2 yard of fabric for piping.

Headed to the Shop

 I'm so excited to be able to drop off a few new things at the shop tomorrow. I've  been working hard out in the studio getting ready for FALL!      Fun wine bags made of burlap and lace

 Great black and tan pillows and table runners

 A super striking wing back chair made with a touch of vintage charm  I used a old linen tablecloth for the bottom pleated ruffle   love it!!  this one washes up great just a little pressing of the pleats when you pull it out of the drier and you are good to go.

 some great fall colored patch pillows

Hope to see you in Buffalo this weekend!

Odds and Ends

 Here are a couple of different projects that I did for clients  A  great piece of vintage fabric was sent to me via the US post with instructions to" make a pillow" for a sweet client that I've worked with before. She loved the way it turned out

 And another slip cover for Carmella's lamp  It will be in the same room with this couch

More fun stuff later this week
have a great week

A Chair for the shop

Out and about a couple of weeks ago  I found this cute chair and lamp table.

 Here is the after picture.  I finished it up and took over to the shop last Monday. Happy to say it sold already!

 I took this picture before  I tossed the finished product in the wash and pressed it out abit. The skirt is looking a little bit wild in this picture but it did settle down.

 big grommets painted black for the back

The lamp table got a fresh coat of paint and the shade got a fun slipcover too.
Thanks for stopping and Have a great rest of the week 

Fridays from Home

A project finished!  the down stairs living room that I had intended to have done and ready for the summer in early May.  Slipcovers were made and cushions re maid for the couch and love seat. a new rug  new lampshade covers  and some pillows in blue.  A great old croquette set found and cleaned up a bit, love the colors of it and a Boat House sign that I made with some craft paint and old wood that we had laying around the house.
Ahhhh I love having this project checked off the list  
Happy weekend!

Lampshades and Sofa's

I just completed this project for one of my favorite clients.  This is an awesome barrel hanging lamp that she found at a shop for super cheep.   We made a  lamp shade slipcover  out of some fabrics that she had left over from another project. This slipcover simply warps around the shade and Velcro's in place the buttons are just add a little extra detail.

 for the sofa she wanted a very contemporary look so we did the whole thing with very clean and simple lines no piping and just a couple of pleats in the front. White linen was the fabric of choice.

Thanks for stopping have a great rest of the week.

Fridays From Home

A look at what I've been working on when I'm not in the shop.  Our home is too shady for a garden spot so we have a space at a farmer friends place. Lots of canning and freezing going on around here.
