Well folks. I did it. And I didn't even swear in the process! I did break two needles on my sewing machine and I did almost break down and cry a time or two, but in the end, I ended up with a decent looking slipcover.
I was inspired by this double ruffle/pleat look I saw over at the home of always inspiring Miss Mustard Seed. I thought there was a chair with a similar look which was truly my inspiration, but I can't find it.
***Edit- I found it!
Gorgeous, right!?
It sure beats what the bench/ottoman looks like without the slipcover!
This is the beginnings of my master bedroom makeover...but I have to finish downstairs first!
This lamp redo is part of the bedroom project as well. I've really been into the deconstructed shade look lately. I decided to rip apart a shade I had, right down to the bones. Once the rest of the bedroom comes together, I'll decide if I want to add any wire and beading to it. Right now, I'm loving the bare bones look of it.
Remember when I found this lamp at Goodwill? A little paint and a nekked shade give it a whole new look!
Go see Miss Mustard Seed and she'll give you some useful tips on making dropcloth slipcovers.
I'm also linking up again to the slipcover Saturday Night Special linky party at Funky Junk Interiors.
