Shabby chic slipcover style

This chair and ottoman got a quick slipcover right before Christmas.

I really didn't get a chance to write about it, so here it is.

I had just thrown an old sofa slipcover over it.

Here it is under a pile of that white fabric. You can see the old yellow walls

and how I have now moved tables, chairs and artwork.

It was still a pretty look. 

 I like the blue frenchy marble topped table with the white slip better

than the iron and wood table.I got this table at the local
Salvation Army Thrift shop for $40 and painted it with a light coat of
Palladium Blue by Ben Moore. (Sidebar for the post)
It used to have a traditional cream with gold french provincial paint job.

Table before paint job...

The greige walls have a calming effect and look great with blue.
The color is #1515 Ben Moore.

The large floral painting suddenly felt too busy  in this spot.

The chinese lamp came from my parents house. I grew up with it.

It broke and my dad glued it back together, 

but my mom didn't want it anymore~I  always liked it.

Its toile-esque.

You can see I am still carrying this book everywhere with me.

I love the cover shot of her velvet damask sofa 

and how she matches in her casual yet elegant clothing. 

She actually has clothes made to match the rooms she has!

I will not be doing that....

Here is the pretty chair in its original covering.

It has a lovely Marie Antoinette kind of fabric with nail head trim.

I bought it from a fancy store called "Domain" that is now out of business.

I still love the look of this chair, but wanted a change for a bit.

I ripped apart an old white slipcover, seen here, and reused all 

the fabric to make this new one. Pretty green I have to say.

This is the same chair.

I made this slipcover for my NH house where I had a lot

of clearer colors in pink and green and yellow.

Ignore the blue carpet, I had to~it came with the house.

It is amazing what a difference a slip makes.

Not the best picture, I  had used my iPhone to

capture the before and afters on this project.

Its kind of sloppy looking here..I was rushing.

Note:  I didn't have enough fabric to make cording for a lot of my seams.

Less cording makes a slip a bit more modern and casual to me.

I had wanted to make a tiny knife pleated skirt
 like these pretty chairs have in Lauren Ross' home.
Due to lack of fabric I settled for a triple kick pleat in the corners.

I had just enough to cover a mismatched ottoman.
I will be painting the insides of the bookcases shell pink.

But for now...I'm lovin' this corner.
