From Drab to Fab




I am slowly redecorating my home office.  I have a million other projects going on and my personal stuff always takes a back seat.  Any hoooo....I have a huge box of fabric in the attic and from time to time I remember to go through it before I head off to the fabric store.  Score!  This old office chair my dad gave me 10 years ago needed help, lots of help.  I had it covered with blue jean fabric before and ripped it off and started to recover it and realized I would like it better with a slipcover look.  So here it is.

Before



After
I made a pattern with lining fabric and winged it.  I still have some finishing touches to add
Trim and ties to secure it to the chair and I might add foam to the arms to make it more comfortable.

My office is vintage cottage and I am working on a desk now and shelving, I have a new embroidery machine and need to make room for it.  I will post pics along the way. 

Happy Decorating,
Kelly

  1. The slipcover is great! I am a new follower and love that you are a Southern girl with a smart mouth. I am too and it is a blessing and a curse!
