The Kitchen Chairs

My husband is a whiz in the wood shop and he has been working on more chairs

He received the birch for these chairs from my father who had harvested the birch trees from near the edge of Riding Mountain National Park, Manitoba in the late 1940s. Well cured when he got the wood in the late 1980s and now getting new life in my kitchen.

Amazing, huh?  My DH just goes at it. We had some cushions cut at Future Foam. Then, my dear friend Marilyn gifted me with some of her fabric stash and the most perfect leafy seat cushions were born.

Stunning, huh?

Slip Covers DONE

Yeah, me.  I am happy to report that with lots of encouragement from my dear sister - ok, she's in Texas and not actually here (so I couldn't actually see the finger wagging) - I have finished. Taa daa.

I was right tho, the carcass cover was by far the hardest.  But I think worth the effort.

As you can see it works great as my prime reading spot.  This is the first time I have done the cover with the wooden legs exposed.  My poor old Henredon couch is now showing its ankles....

More Slip Cover Progress

The slip covers for my old couch are coming along.  The gold fabric is the new slip cover the plaid is the old.

Looks good, huh?  The fabric is the nicest I have used for slip covering.  Mostly I use a woven cotton but this is more than 50 percent poly and its bonded.  Super easy.  Doesn't slip around and yet it has give - so far in all the right places.  Very forgiving.  Just the way I like it.
