Slipcover Perfection

I almost wrecked my car yesterday driving past this Slipcover Shop. These chairs were BE-uuuuuuuu-tiful! Oatmeal colored linen...a chocolate band...sweet perfection. They would make me so happy if they were in my house. I just don't have room. Boo-hoo.

I called the lady and got her prices. The lady I normally use charges $225 per wing. This lady charges $285 with the band. Of course all that doesn't include the cost of the fabric...and you need about 8 yards of solid and 1/2 yard of colored.

I wonder how they would look with the skirt just skimming the feet...like a 3/4 skirt? I must stop thinking about this...I have laundry to do.

I bet Ginger Barber would like these. :)

**edited to add...I just noticed those two chairs are just a smidge different...see how the backs curve a bit differently? Can you tell I keep coming back to these pics? sigh...

There's just something about a linen sofa...

This last picture inspired me to bring up my linen sofa from the basement where it had been taking a break from dirty kids. It has inspired a mini-make-over of my living room. Bringing this sofa in...bumped my old one to the den...where it joined it's twin. Now...I'm thinking more slipcovers...in linen, of course. Something like this...

I checked them out in person today at Pottery Barn...just the 2 slipcovers are $1900...I already have the sofas. DH will be MOST PLEASED, I tell you...not! I could have them made...but the fabric alone for each sofa runs about $450 and the labor is another $300. Maybe I'll have a big ole fat yardsale? Yeah...that's the ticket.

Happy weekend to those who read. :)
