What a Rip!

These barstools were all a rip! Unfortunately, poor fabric choices made these classic backed barstools wear out ahead of their time. Then, to add insult to injury, food and drink messes seeped into the padding, making them a true mess.

To renew them, we started by removing the fabric and damaged padding from the base up. Then we started from scratch. We love the fabric choice our client made. The classis picnic-style red check pattern suits her farmhouse-style kitchen to a T, and the new nailhead detail ties in with the footrests.

Before

After

We’re happy to report that this time she chose a much higher quality fabric that will stand up to the onslaughts of all eight of her grandchildren! But for any time she wants to be extra careful—or even if she’s just in a different mood—she ordered additional slip covers (with matching welt) that can be placed on top of her reupholstered barstools.

For the Love of Fish

There is a place for a heavily textured fish fabric. But we’d venture to say that place probably isn’t in an otherwise well-appointed Newcastle den. Yes, the Mister of the house loves his largemouth bass. But yes, you can also find a place to celebrate your hobbies with smaller household items that are more interchangeable than large sitting chairs. See below:

In a nod to his preference, we kept the fish print–we just covered it up with a touch-me taffeta in a rich golden stripe. You really need to see this piece in their home! The gold positively shimmers in the low, direct lighting of the den. With the addition of a rich red throw blanket and a mahogany side table tinged with bronze metalwork, this drab, stained sitting chair became an inviting, luxurious addition to an otherwise desirable Bellevue home.

Bringing Life to the Living Room

Sometimes a chair gets a chance at a second life, and a third, and a fourth. This comfortable living room chair became more than just furniture when it received a beautiful, personalized slipcover. Now it is the focal point of an exotic, textured space with hues of burnt cherry and deep jungle green. And, since it’s a slipcover, tomorrow it can be the old standby, and next week, a chocolate brown office chair.

A Savvy Slipcover for the Nursery

If you have a baby, you know how important it can be to have a washable slipcover. This used Pottery Barn rocking chair needed a style makeover, but it also needed to be able to stand up to the kind of spills common in nurseries. A funky striped microfiber ensured easy, quick clean up. And though the slipcover fits so well you’d think it’s upholstered, this savvy mom can unzip and launder the removable slipcover any time she wants.
