Our Durham client lives in a tiny adu. Her sectional chaise was interfering with opening her door. We cut the chaise cushion down into a sofa cushion and a separate ottoman cushion. Because we only had fabric from the chaise cover, we had to add a solid gray washable velvet to the bottom of the chaise cushion. We adapted the chaise liner to make 2 cushion liners. We then cut up the bottom of the ottoman fabric to make new sides for the sofa and ottoman. It took a lot of expertise to make the most of the fabric we had available. Now she can move the ottoman base and cushion to different parts of her living room.

Our client originally wanted Roman shades out of this fabric for her office. Instead we created inverted pleats on these 33" long lined cafe curtains per her new design choice. She will hang them with drapery hooks on an exposed rod. They turned out lovely!

Just finished a slipcover for a chaise lounge chair. The original cover was a cream color and the upper cushion was attached. In the next post we will show the before photos. What made this project time consuming is the striped fabric were curtain panels and every stripe had to match. We loved how it came out despite stripes deciding they were 3" wide on one panel and 2.5 wide on other panels.

Our West Durham client needed 3 new seat cushion covers and 11 pillows. The 2 circle and 1 oval seat inserts were 1" thick, so she decided to have us cut new 3" foam inserts. The old covers were a beige color and showed dirt easily. She chose a hunter green Sunbrella with a beige Sunbrella for the contrast piping. The 4 lumbar pillows are also a Sunbrella upholstery fabric. Thanks to Trivantage for such a great selection of Sunbrella fabrics for my clients! She was thrilled with her porch furniture look!!

A wedge pillow cover was just finished for a client. She chose an indoor/outdoor fabric that needed lots of pattern matching. The wedge was 24 w x 27 l x 12" high. When there are stripes, you need to "audition" where the best layout will be. We chose the green stripe in the middle of 2 wide red stripes for better symmetry.
The client loved it!

Our client was very satisfied with the new foam insert for her chair. Her friends had refused to sit in the chair when it had the old foam insert. Now, "everyone" is happy to use this floral chair!!

Our Client 's chair cushion cover is transformed by a custom foam insert. We cut the insert to fit, wrapped the foam in fluffy batting and then put it in the cover.




Sad, sad chair cushion...... The client needs a new foam insert wrapped in batting.
