Petit chair makeover

Pink Boy found this ballroom chair at an estate sale in Madison, GA a few weekends ago. He only paid $30.00 for it . It just needed a new seat cover. I had some left over pink silk and now it is pretty in pink! I think Souffle-Marie will end up claiming it as her chair in the bedroom. Cats love cute chairs.

I've had the little stool for over 20 years and it was time for a make over. The bottom was scuffed and the cats keep get caught up in the elastic on the fabric edge at the bottom. 

They use the stool to sit and watch me get dressed --sometimes I even get to use it to sit to put my shoes on! 

As soon as it went away to be slip covered the cats noticed right away it was gone. They hate change.

Now everyone is happy once again with a pretty new slipcover and a place to perch!

French chairs get a make over

 Before: This silk damask was on the chairs for about 25 years!

I started refreshing the living room in January--some new pillows and draperies, a new French chair covered in pink suede and now the final project is completed as well.A recover of the chairs by the fireplace.

I have a wonderful upholstery shop nearby and they always finish on time and are priced well. They have done many things for me. This job was a bit tricky since I bought only 3 meters of the Carolyn Quartermaine fabric from her. She is in the UK. 

Here is the link: http://www.carolynquartermaine.com/

I had admired her script fabric for over 15 years and finally bought it for this project. It is light and pretty looking and since it is not sold in USA shops or at the design mart you do not see it everywhere. 

I am happy with the way the living room looks now and  am quite pleased with the fabric.  Joining in on Show and Tell Friday
