Please come see what comprises My Perfect Fall Day
In other news…these fabrics are in the works for a client’s
new beach house living room.
The two bottom Belgian linen fabrics are pillow covers
from Restoration Hardware. When I tried to order them
on-line (on sale now), they were back-ordered until
mid-December. Luckily, our local store still had a
few in stock.

These items are going in their family room.
Other clients (with a darling one year old baby boy)
want to utilize all their living space until they move
to a place a bit larger.
The wife inherited this wing chair from a great
aunt and here it is with a
kid friendly, pre-washed (important) slipcover.

I had them remove the skirt to update it
and we stained the legs.

It’s still in the workshop here…but will be fun to show you it in their refurnished family room.
I spotted these chairs (less than $250 each)
for their living room at
Just Like the Model (a store that sells goods from model
homes at a discount).
One last thing… here is a fun cocktail that I brought to
a party last weekend. It’s from my friend,
a party last weekend. It’s from my friend,
Nancy’s blog, A Communal Table.
I love Nancy’s photography.
It’s called “Queen’s Cocktail.”
That’s rock candy or “edible diamonds.”
It’s sweet, spicy and refreshing.

Your blue color palette is so soothing!
Those fabrics are so lovely,
I love blue and white,
looks so fresh and calm and classy.
Love the classic look of blue and white. Can't wait to see how it turns out-if your client is willing to let you share.
Such a pretty combination of fabrics you pulled together! Great call to eliminate the skirt, the chair looks so pretty with the slipcover.
Love the fabrics for your new project and the chair turned out beautifully! Going over to Enchanted Home now! xo
As you know….I LOVE blue and white and what you've chosen will be fabulous in the two rooms! The fabrics are just beautiful!
Need to come check out some of your great "finds" store soon! I also loved your post on "Enchanted Home"! Your fall decor inspired me so I ran out and bought some pumpkins and fall leaves!
I love your chair makeover…it looks great! And you must have been the life of the party when you brought that cocktail to the party…I've never heard of "edible diamonds"

Hi enjoyed your perfect fall day post at Enchanted Home and the slipcovered chair is gorgeous. You gave me a good idea. Happy to be a new follower.
Your fall day is perfect and you have a wonderful life! Thanks for sharing it on your blog!
What a fun project – loving those slipcovers!
Enjoyed your answers over at Tina's. it really put me in the mood for fall. I wonder if we'll see it this year. Finally tonight seems to be a cool evening. Can't wait to see the finished blue and white color scheme. Also, your workroom did a very nice job on the slip covers. I hope mine will turn out as nicely. Have a good rest of the week. 🙂
Love the fabrics in the top picture…gorgeous!!! From Argentina, Julia C.
I never ever tire of a wing chair, and the slip cover job on this one is top notch. Your client will be so pysched!
Wing chair looks great and love that you changed the skirt! 250.00 for those other chairs are a steal….you should be jailed 🙂
My mom and I love Just Like the Model! We can't wait for the new location to open in a few weeks. 🙂
what new location, Alison?
Lovely choices for your client! Can't wait to see it come together!! Do you mind sharing what fabric you used for the wingback chair? I need a kid-friendly slipcover for my dining chairs. Thanks 🙂
It is a cotton duck from Dorell Fabric Outlet. You can order from them….pre-washed.
And now I'm jealous and want to move to California…
Oh yeah…poor Mary Ann…Haha Tina is so funny! Loved that post! You rock!
How awesome that house is going to look when you are done with it! and I love the slipcovered chair! Heading over to Tina's now!
I cannot wait to see the finished beach house – I love that shade of blue!!! I love the slipcover idea – I have a chair that is similar and desperately needs recovered – hadn't thought of a slipcover – it's a perfect solution!!!
That was so sweet of you to link the Queen's Cocktail – so glad you found the rock candy for it!!!
Holy cow! TGFS! (Text for Thank God For Slipcovers!)
My favorite…blue and white. It looks great and those chairs, $250.00, Wow! You found a great deal!
I love your design choices. Your client's chair looks great. I recently discovered Thibaut fabrics and ordered a couple pillow covers too. Can't wait for them to arrive in the mail.
Already visited and saw you post at The Enchanted home. Love the fabric colors. So glad that chair got a slip cover…..so glad. Have a great day! – Tonya

I covet a living room with all those gorgeous fabrics in the top picture. (I'm going through a blue phase.) This house is going to be gorgeous. Love seeing your process!
