OOooh I just opened my inbox to see these photos from my seamstress! I get to pick up my sofa and her fancy new dress (aka slipcover) tomorrow~




Now the debate will be on whether we should leave the wood feet as is, or paint them an old grey???

  2. Oh wow, looks fantastic Holly! That slipcover fits like a glove. My vote is for a greyish-blue with some serious distressing on the legs.

  6. Oooohhh...thats a tough one. I would get it home and get it in the room first just to be sure. Grey sounds fabulous, but maybe the dark legs would "ground" it a little more with your dark floors. Hmmmm.... ~mary~

  8. Maybe I'm cautious....I'd leave it wood for awhile, then maybe paint it grey. I know it'll look fabulous no matter what! I love your furniture!

  9. Love the sofa and your blog. I vote grey too, since we all know you love it. I'm looking into getting a slipcover made for my sofa and also a wingback chair. What do you think a good price is?

  13. Holly you have me so envious that you've found a lovely seamstress with great prices and fabulous talent!!! Oh how I wish I could find a seamstress to sew slipcovers for a few things without charging enough to make me bankrupt! ;) (Any recommendations on how to search for one?) Can't wait to see the sofa and all of your auction goodies. :)

  17. I vote for grey- and I echo the previous question about price. I've made a few slipcovers myself, but I have a chair that I would like for someone else to tackle. I have no clue what to excpect! Any rules of thumb I can use to make sure I'm getting a good deal?

  19. Thanks for all the input ladies!!

    Pricing really depends on what fabric you choose. For this cover I went with a bit pricier fabric which cost $120 in total. But the labor was $180, which seems to be unbeatable in my area so I am very happy to have found my wonderful seamstress!
