I'm a Fool for Slip Covers

Before I get to the meat of this day's post,

I want to give a shout out to Judy Clark!!!!!

SHE SENT ME A PRESENT!!!!!!

Now, this is not a plug for more stuff, 'cuz to be honest, 

I usually don't like the gifts that I get.

But boy, did she nail it on the head!!!!!

I'm not sure where I'm going to put him. 

I wont' know till I go back down to Flerida.....

But he's going to fit right in to my bird collection, 

SOOOOOOOOOOO.........

Judy.....

THANK YOU!!!!!

Now, back to my Massachusetts home.....

Last time I showed you some slip cover details.....

I lifted up a little corner of a slip cover to show what was underneath....

Matter of fact, I didn't even bother to show this picture.....

Boy am I lazy!!!!

So I gave myself a stern talking to..... 

and pulled the slip cover off the chair.....

and took pictures to share,

(whoa baby! I just made a rhyme!!!!!)

 so you can see what a 

TRANSFORMATION

a well detailed cover can make.

This is the way the chair looks neekid....

It was my winter look in my house in Watertown.

I added a lot of little flourishes to the arms

 and back.....

which I had to work around with the slip cover.....

If I can add unnecessary details I will!!!!!

So I had the fabric that folded into the pleat be a contrast green strie.

One detail that I don't feel is an unnecessary addition is 

CONTRAST WELT!!!!!

YES YES YES!!!!

So the ties and welting were a solid green.....

Ties make a nice touch, rather than a zipper....

Add in the scalloped bottom edged in trim....

And you have got one stylin' chair!!!!!

So, I have a winter look,                                    and a summer look!!!!!

Now, to all the nice folks who have wished me a speedy recovery from my rotator cuff surgery.

THANK YOU!!!!

But I had that operation 3 years ago......

I was just making the point of how I like mood altering drugs to admire my living room.

THAT WAS WHY.....

I was wondering what surgery to have NEXT!!!!!
