Our Chairs are wearing Party Dresses!!!

  

I don’t know what happened, but one morning I came in to work and all my chairs were wearing PARTY DRESSES!  Could it be the influence of all those prom dresses I have tucked away in the storage room  until January when  “Perfect Prom” opens again…..      

   Maybe… or could it be…..    They just got tired of wearing the same old thing…… possibly?   or it could be that  Eldon, my wonderful upholstery man,  along with his talented wife, have been working their magic! 

 

   

Under this sassy scalloped skirt lies a dramatic black and white zebra seat cover.

 

OK, just as cute without it’s sassy skirt!

 

 

How about a nice box pleated skirt with it’s toes peeking out.

 

 

Or this little number I found in a magazine that we can certainly copy.  Looks like it’s made from a white pique material.  Crisp and cool to dress up a bedroom.

 

 

Not technically a slip cover , but a recovered chair that has the look. 

LOVE the little linen covered ottoman with tiny white pleated ruffle!

 

More of the traditional slipped look with a deep ruffle.  Just the thing to update a club chair.

Even works for a wing chair or sofa.  You know you have a tired old wing chair just waiting for new duds!

 

I LOVE these sassy little dining chairs with their fancy ties and ruffly skirts.

And last, another scalloped skirt with tied on arms and back… gotta love it!!

I think this is such a great look!  We don’t see it as much in this area, but it is really popular in other parts of  the country.  Very fresh when mixed with a natural sea grass rug and lots of textured neutral colors with weathered finish furniture.  I’ll do a later post showing you some great possibilities.

I have the best upholstery man who’s wife does my slipcovers in cream or white cotton duck at a very reasonable price.  Of course, they can be done in any of my fabrics, but in the duck they are washable.  When they get soiled all you do is wash them in cold water, toss them in the dryer on air setting and when they are still a little damp, just put them back on your furniture.  That easy!

If done in a colored fabric, or with lots of detailing it is best to have them drycleaned.  Still a great way to change the look of your furniture or especially seat covers without breaking the bank.

 

If you like the look and are interested, just give me a call or stop by Perfect Home to see  what we have.

I’ll share a few more photos soon showing how to work this look.
