Everything from the button back placket, contrasting welt, to the scalloped edge on the short skirt. It truly makes a piece look custom.<br />The customer brought us a linen look fabric that worked well for the body of the slipcover. A scalloped edge at the bottom of the skirt is a detail we have done a few times before but we always love the finished product. Chocolate brown fabric was used for welt cord on the entire piece and on the buttons down the back. Buttonholes for this piece are worked into a seam making the alignment tricky but a unique look.Lorihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00078924479773373574noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3409937569228890445.post-21764593290552318752011-04-30T16:00:00.002-05:002011-04-30T16:29:22.100-05:00Antique Chair Slipcovered<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NaApRm6k6NM/Tbx5rS-ViLI/AAAAAAAAAQg/vyQeAs_XKpc/s1600/Jo%2527s%2BSlipcover.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601485821276686514" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NaApRm6k6NM/Tbx5rS-ViLI/AAAAAAAAAQg/vyQeAs_XKpc/s400/Jo%2527s%2BSlipcover.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-DlKdtDs-Wqo/Tbx5rF0mBcI/AAAAAAAAAQY/0iDbbiptegU/s1600/Jo%2527s%2BChair%2BCloseup.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601485817746163138" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-DlKdtDs-Wqo/Tbx5rF0mBcI/AAAAAAAAAQY/0iDbbiptegU/s400/Jo%2527s%2BChair%2BCloseup.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-NQiFhFmrSpE/Tbx5rC1kThI/AAAAAAAAAQQ/fQ8yBXTFPzE/s1600/Jo%2527s%2BChair%2BBefore.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601485816944938514" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-NQiFhFmrSpE/Tbx5rC1kThI/AAAAAAAAAQQ/fQ8yBXTFPzE/s400/Jo%2527s%2BChair%2BBefore.jpg" /></a> This chair belongs to Jo Althaus who owns Southside Antiques here in Chattanooga. (That's a glimpse of her shop you see in the background!) She owns 6 side chairs and 2 armchairs. They are wonderful Victorian chairs and she worked the needlepointed seats years ago. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Jo felt she needed to update her look and bring some soft goods into her dining room. When she decided to slipcover the two armchairs, she came to us. We've been working neighbors for years now...she and her business partner Connie have had the antique store on the Southside long before the Southside was cool! We had already slipcovered 1 or 2 wingchairs for her... back when we were located across the river on the Northshore of downtown Chattanooga.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>As you see from the pictures, the slipcover really makes the beautiful curved arms jump out visually. Also, the short skirt allows the unique stretcher to show...giving her the best of both worlds - adding some softness and a great fabric to her room while allowing the beauty of a fine antique to show.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div><span style="color:#330099;"><em>PS: The fabric is a heavy linen/cotton and is printed in a French sacking design.

She chose a pale, dusty pink linen in a washed finish for the main side and an amazing hand blocked print for the back. On the solid side we quilted the 3 layers (there is a flannel interlining) together with these great looking bullion knots. There are 81 of them! ...and yes, my fingers are sore.

Natalie Sims' eye for scale and color is very obvious in this pair of chairs - slipcovered for a client in the North Chattanooga area.<br /> Natalie opted for a clean look (sans welt cording) and put a punch in with the oversized monograms in a pumpkin/clay color. Before, these simple open-armed chairs might have been regulated to a rarely used spot in the house. But now, they can take star positions in the now beautiful living room.<br /><div></div></div>Lorihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00078924479773373574noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3409937569228890445.post-44356763774887320452010-10-15T09:28:00.003-05:002010-10-15T10:11:41.483-05:00New Project-Vintage French Bed<span style="font-family:verdana;">I'm so excited over my latest find! ...Well, actually it's my cohort Lori's find. She knew I was looking for a full/double size bed for the room my daughter vacated when she left for college. This was spied by her eagle eyes in one of our favorite vintage furniture stores - and she knew I'd fall in love with it.</span> <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_y7Yg_yGBT0o/TLhlQ-F43TI/AAAAAAAAAN4/GfH9SzRcPzg/s1600/French+Bed"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5528279884817292594" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_y7Yg_yGBT0o/TLhlQ-F43TI/AAAAAAAAAN4/GfH9SzRcPzg/s400/French+Bed" /></a> <span style="font-family:verdana;">It's still sitting in the store and I plan to pick it up tomorrow when I get a truck. Lori and I have discussed several possibilities (I'm sure they're limitless!) but we've come to no hard conclusions on what we are going to do. We've discussed fabric colors and types as well as how we are going to treat the wood. I love the idea of painting it because I already have a mix of wood colors in that room.<br /> Hmmm. It's exciting to be working on a project for myself. I'm like the shoemaker whose children have bare feet!<br /> What to do...what to do. </span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"><strong><span style="font-size:130%;color:#6666cc;">Any suggestions?</span></strong></span>Lorihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00078924479773373574noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3409937569228890445.post-25879424141320151222010-10-14T11:46:00.002-05:002010-10-14T11:52:36.782-05:00Slipcovers with Print Trim<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_y7Yg_yGBT0o/TLcz81UxnQI/AAAAAAAAANw/fk7NjRSb4D8/s1600/Slipcovers"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5527944187819957506" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_y7Yg_yGBT0o/TLcz81UxnQI/AAAAAAAAANw/fk7NjRSb4D8/s400/Slipcovers" /></a> Hot off the press! This pair of slipcovers is displayed at our downtown Chattanooga store called Chrysalis. The main fabric is a cotton/linen blend and Lori got a great idea to put a grommet closure in the back. We have matching lumbar pillows in the seats...love 'em! You may also get a hint of the 42" table that is covered to match.Lorihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00078924479773373574noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3409937569228890445.post-34748364320334941422010-09-24T20:24:00.002-05:002010-09-24T20:35:25.560-05:00Red Toile Slipcovers<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_y7Yg_yGBT0o/TJ1P_zyLxjI/AAAAAAAAANo/mYlVGoCTJrA/s1600/Red+Toile+Chair"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 393px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5520656675877144114" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_y7Yg_yGBT0o/TJ1P_zyLxjI/AAAAAAAAANo/mYlVGoCTJrA/s400/Red+Toile+Chair" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_y7Yg_yGBT0o/TJ1P_k33i_I/AAAAAAAAANg/nnEQ2yQkoA0/s1600/Red+Toile+Detail"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5520656671874452466" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_y7Yg_yGBT0o/TJ1P_k33i_I/AAAAAAAAANg/nnEQ2yQkoA0/s400/Red+Toile+Detail" /></a><br />We did a pair of these armed dining chairs recently. The customer had recovered the slipseats and wanted us to do just the backs and the arms. Notice that the ties are really fun and casual with the back vent/pleat softly falling open to reveal the pattern on the inside. The other chairs in the set are side chairs but these will serve as the captains chairs in a French County style home.<br /><div></div></div>Lorihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00078924479773373574noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3409937569228890445.post-55244912072617182582010-09-10T08:34:00.002-05:002010-09-10T08:56:41.478-05:00Green Silk Drapes<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_y7Yg_yGBT0o/TIoz9CxiiTI/AAAAAAAAANY/xn6FTf4H55A/s1600/Lane+Drapes"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5515277817478285618" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_y7Yg_yGBT0o/TIoz9CxiiTI/AAAAAAAAANY/xn6FTf4H55A/s400/Lane+Drapes" border="0" /></a> These drapes are still hanging on our "drapery horse" in the West studio. I will be taking them to the decorator on Lookout Mountain (just West of Downtown Chattanooga) and we will gently lay them across her spare beds like formal dresses awaiting prom night! They are incredibly full and lush. This picture doesn't quite capture the true color depth of the green silk....it's really brilliant. <br /> They will be installed in a dining room in Columbus, Georgia next week and hopefully I will receive pictures to post here soon. I was in Columbus to do the original measure, but won't be going back for the installation....Boo Hoo! Hopefully, I will be able to go sometime soon and see them hanging.<br /><br /> These are interlined in heavy English Bump cloth. It is a fat blanket-type of interlining fit for castle drapes! It gives the pleats a plump, fat look as well as gives ooomph to the hems as they break gently on the floor.<br /><br /> I've featured the work of this decorator before on my blog...she's just amazing. It's Carol Brown of Carol Brown Interiors. She has done many Southern homes, is available in the Chattanooga region, and often travels to other areas as required. Always a delight to work with, Carol is tops in our books... we especially love her passion for slipcovers!Lorihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00078924479773373574noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3409937569228890445.post-6099073505852996992010-09-03T09:33:00.003-05:002010-09-08T13:35:13.413-05:00Slipcover for a lampshade!<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_y7Yg_yGBT0o/TIEHZpuiknI/AAAAAAAAANQ/Q7DRAMptbRU/s1600/lampshade+slipcover.BMP"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 328px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5512695556157379186" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_y7Yg_yGBT0o/TIEHZpuiknI/AAAAAAAAANQ/Q7DRAMptbRU/s400/lampshade+slipcover.BMP" /></a><br /><div></div><br />This is a slipcover for a lampshade! We created it out of a fairly heavy, washed bull denim. When it gets dusty or dirty, the homeowner can just put it in the washing machine. In the mean time it adds a bit of softness to the room. This fun lady is totally in LOVE with French Country decor and has been working with us to give her living room that soft, beautiful, livable look she is going for. We had already slipcovered 2 chairs in this same fabric.<br />We are currently working on toile chair back covers for the captain's chairs in her dining room. I will post a picture of that when we get them done. She had seen something similar in the set design of the movie, "Something's Gotta Give" and wanted that for her own dining room.<br />If you see something in a magazine or even in a movie....chances are that The Brick Path Studio can create it!Lorihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00078924479773373574noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3409937569228890445.post-71576769476137428572010-08-06T14:03:00.002-05:002010-08-06T14:17:02.472-05:00Slipcovered wooden chair<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_y7Yg_yGBT0o/TFxdTm6qE6I/AAAAAAAAANA/tRFDtqdgG-0/s1600/BinBin%27s+Chair+Back.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5502375436185375650" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_y7Yg_yGBT0o/TFxdTm6qE6I/AAAAAAAAANA/tRFDtqdgG-0/s400/BinBin%27s+Chair+Back.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_y7Yg_yGBT0o/TFxdS7_PN2I/AAAAAAAAAM4/fheP9L_7i2w/s1600/BinBin%27s+Chair.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5502375424661862242" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_y7Yg_yGBT0o/TFxdS7_PN2I/AAAAAAAAAM4/fheP9L_7i2w/s400/BinBin%27s+Chair.JPG" border="0" /></a> This is a chair that is covered very simply, yet in an elegant way. There is no welt cording on the cushion or the chair cover. The body piece has a Velcro closure and helps with the pared-down look. It is actually a rush bottomed chair and is owned by an adorable toddler that can't touch the floor when sitting on it yet! His mother arranged for us to cover it to be used as his desk chair in his bedroom. As he grows, he will be able to use this classic chair to sit, color and cut; then later to do his high school studies. His mother brought us a picture she had seen in a magazine of a similar chair and said she knew we were the people for the job to create the fat and crested cushion. This customer is "all about" the crest on her cushions! ...We are too.<br /><br /><div></div></div>Lorihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00078924479773373574noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3409937569228890445.post-12319918127226731772010-08-03T21:28:00.004-05:002010-08-06T14:18:29.077-05:00Slipcover in Linen with Button Detail<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_y7Yg_yGBT0o/TFjSjXVq3EI/AAAAAAAAAMw/bOsM6hZDu94/s1600/DSCF4086.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501378449835220034" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_y7Yg_yGBT0o/TFjSjXVq3EI/AAAAAAAAAMw/bOsM6hZDu94/s400/DSCF4086.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_y7Yg_yGBT0o/TFjRs8p0zQI/AAAAAAAAAMo/CoReaj_H1_Y/s1600/DSCF4089.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501377514959064322" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_y7Yg_yGBT0o/TFjRs8p0zQI/AAAAAAAAAMo/CoReaj_H1_Y/s400/DSCF4089.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />This is a heavy washed linen slipcover on a cute little slipper chair. The full view picture makes it look a bit "catawumpus", but it's not...it's the angle that I took the picture from! ...I guess I was going for the surreal look.<br />The next picture is of the button detail. This is a detail usually found in couture clothing items. The button holes are set into a small welt cording. Very tailored and beautiful. I really love this.<br />We set the skirt slightly on the floor for a casual, yet elegant look.<br /><div></div></div>Lorihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00078924479773373574noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3409937569228890445.post-61868532390564239962010-07-08T16:54:00.003-05:002010-07-08T17:07:26.964-05:00Pictures from the Hidden World of the Workroom!<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_y7Yg_yGBT0o/TDZKEtO_TNI/AAAAAAAAAMg/l37NmedGK4I/s1600/Cabinet+perspective"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5491658240347294930" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_y7Yg_yGBT0o/TDZKEtO_TNI/AAAAAAAAAMg/l37NmedGK4I/s400/Cabinet+perspective" border="0" /></a>We've been busy with a couple of top secret projects and I haven't had time to post pictures of the slipcovers or window treatments we've sent out lately, so I thought this was a fun picture to show. This is the cabinet in our East workroom that holds our small hardware parts like metal grommets, Roman shade pieces, decorative upholstery nails, cording, and all kinds of rings, pins and fasteners. Lori and Patsy discovered this cabinet at a local thrift store and snagged it for us. Its perfect. We love the way it looks...from any angle!<br /><div></div>Lorihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00078924479773373574noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3409937569228890445.post-53546543718364624432010-05-24T16:51:00.004-05:002010-05-24T17:15:52.051-05:00Vintage Fabrics!

This homeowner has an eye for beautiful vintage items... she collects everything from old advertising to lovely old fabrics like this. It is actually a <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">handstitched</span> table cloth that we've fashioned into a Roman shade for a guest room window. We have left this totally uncut so 20 years from now it could be a table cloth again! Luckily there was plenty of room around the smallish window so we could make the shade large enough to <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">accommodate</span> the design. In the background of the top picture you can see the results of decorator Becky Wilson's idea to use the 6 matching napkins. It is a pillow that we backed with a similar natural linen. The napkins are simply appliqued onto the surface. Since it ended up to be an odd size, we have ordered a custom down/feather form to fit ...and it has yet to arrive.<br />Projects like this are so fun and usually end up being very special to the client.<br /><div></div></div>Lorihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00078924479773373574noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3409937569228890445.post-16749172415767581032010-05-06T11:43:00.002-05:002010-05-06T11:52:26.566-05:00Galleries at Southside<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_y7Yg_yGBT0o/S-LyIUbMk3I/AAAAAAAAAMI/ZDLeVMJAMsU/s1600/Origami+flower+close"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5468199122316858226" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_y7Yg_yGBT0o/S-LyIUbMk3I/AAAAAAAAAMI/ZDLeVMJAMsU/s400/Origami+flower+close" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_y7Yg_yGBT0o/S-LyIG7V4VI/AAAAAAAAAMA/j0fKGVcbYNE/s1600/Astro+Bags+in+group"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5468199118693589330" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_y7Yg_yGBT0o/S-LyIG7V4VI/AAAAAAAAAMA/j0fKGVcbYNE/s400/Astro+Bags+in+group" /></a> We keep adding new merchandise to our kiosk at The Galleries at Soutside in downtown Chattanooga.

It is really more of a edge trim instead of a skirt. This slipcover is done in a cream colored brushed denim. We LOVED the little tab and button detail on the back kick pleat. --what fun! It's a great way to add interest when a chair is floating out in the center of the room and will be seen from the back.<br /><div></div></div>Lorihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00078924479773373574noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3409937569228890445.post-78091648560399618072010-04-11T09:46:00.003-05:002010-04-11T10:10:45.295-05:00Slipcover with flirty knife-pleated skirt!Here's a slipcover for a French armchair that's hot off the press! The customer hasn't even seen it as it was just finished by Lori late on Friday.<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_y7Yg_yGBT0o/S8HhHyEzSjI/AAAAAAAAAK0/_WOwnsxaHyk/s1600/Knife+pleat+on+armchair"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458891747166997042" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_y7Yg_yGBT0o/S8HhHyEzSjI/AAAAAAAAAK0/_WOwnsxaHyk/s400/Knife+pleat+on+armchair" /></a> It is done in a pre-washed white twill fabric and will function perfectly for the homeowner - after her much loved cats lounge around on it for a while. This customer knew exactly what she wanted and even brought in a picture from a magazine to show us the look she was going for.<br /> The arm covers fasten on with hook & loop closures, but anything goes. We could have used buttons, ties, tabs, zippers...you name it. Anything you would find on a dress, a pair of pants or even a great designer handbag can be incorporated into a slipcover. Sometimes we think we've done it all, but then someone will bring in a great magazine picture with an odd, yet fabulous idea that we've never dreamed of. Or we will get new inspiration while browsing a vintage magazine or looking through an old apparel design book. Ideas are hidden EVERYWHERE! It's an exciting adventure to ferret them out.Lorihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00078924479773373574noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3409937569228890445.post-15334399429026856092010-03-30T12:11:00.004-05:002010-03-30T12:23:05.010-05:00Pillow Details<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_y7Yg_yGBT0o/S7IyiAb9T1I/AAAAAAAAAKs/1PmdoJ8Z-c8/s1600/Origami+Rosette+Pillow+close"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454477658513297234" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_y7Yg_yGBT0o/S7IyiAb9T1I/AAAAAAAAAKs/1PmdoJ8Z-c8/s400/Origami+Rosette+Pillow+close" /></a><br /><div>I had to show the detail of the swirling rosette on the origami pillow.

We've <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">thrown </span>in a bit of spice with a deep aqua color called "Rain" as well as some muted greens. The small pillows you see in the white <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">slipcovered</span> wing chairs are part of our "origami series". There is a highly <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">dimensional, swirling rose design with some incredible mitered corner work surrounding it. I'll be posting more pix of the origami babies soon!</span>Lorihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00078924479773373574noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3409937569228890445.post-38954098871505013702010-03-11T10:57:00.004-05:002010-03-11T11:26:37.348-05:00Pillow and Cushion Details!<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_y7Yg_yGBT0o/S5kTpOtnbcI/AAAAAAAAAKc/K2DmPL6RhMQ/s1600-h/020910112948.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5447406823326313922" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_y7Yg_yGBT0o/S5kTpOtnbcI/AAAAAAAAAKc/K2DmPL6RhMQ/s400/020910112948.jpg" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_y7Yg_yGBT0o/S5kTo3GzCcI/AAAAAAAAAKU/_UQhLIbi43k/s1600-h/020910112207.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5447406816989481410" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_y7Yg_yGBT0o/S5kTo3GzCcI/AAAAAAAAAKU/_UQhLIbi43k/s400/020910112207.jpg" /></a><br />Here's some more details from the job I've been posting about lately.<br /><br /><strong>The kitchen chair cushions</strong> are covered in a classic Cowtan and Tout check in the dark brown color the decorator repeated throughout the kitchen, dining room and den. We created a paper pattern of the chair seat and had a high-quality/high-density foam cut to match the shape before covering them with zippered covers with ties. This foam will give good support for years to come and not go flat & lose their spring after a few months of use. When it comes to foam quality, you really do get what you pay for! A while back, when the price of petroleum based products soared, foam prices went right along. But it is always worth investing in a quality cushion insert.<br /><br /><strong>The pillows for the living room sofa were divine.</strong> We especially love the flanged, boxed lumbar pillow in the coral stripe you see in the foreground. Lori has a secret "magic trick" to stitch those babies!</div>Lorihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00078924479773373574noreply@blogger.com0
