This chair was given to us right before we got married and it has made a great Peace Retreat! However, I've long desired to give it a little update - I wanted to change the fabric, give it a little skirt and change the seat back.

I spent about $40 for two drop cloths, blue and white ticking and the cording. The next day, I was looking in a magazine at a slip cover that was over $600! So, it made me realize what a bargain this was. I am soooo happy at how it turned out - it makes me giddy to look at our lovely makeover!
You can see the piping up close here.
Again, we used Miss Mustard Seed's tutorials and I've been reading her blog for a few months and am thoroughly enjoying her style and ideas!
Now, I'm dreaming of doing my couches - hmmm, will I have the nerve?

WOW Monica, great job! I love it, it turned out FANTASTIC! I am very impressed, and super jealous, and moderately inspired. I have a couch screaming for a new cover, kinda daunting:)
