...my wicker chaise's ~ country living makeover

...hello creative ones!

my wicker chaise's lounge slipcover is now complete

it took me awhile
because

i searched high and low for just the right fabric

in a greige/oatmeal like color...

 i wanted it to be more of a neutral piece

but

still very lovely in our ever changing living room...

 the original slipcovers were ok ~

just a little to "flowery"

 if you know what i mean...

uuhhhmmmm...

i'm sayin'

yah no to the shiny cotton chintz!

  

imagine my delight when i was reading
  Diane's blog:  Passionate for White

and she was having the same dilemma for her dining room chairs

only ~
she found exactly the perfect fabric!
well, kinda
you see, they were curtain panels
from Kmart's "Country Living" line

 "Sweet Rose Damask"

but it was love at first sight!

so naturally,

i ZOOMED over to my Kmart

and immediately purchased two panels.

 i also bought a 32" metal zipper

so that i may remove my "slip cover" at any time and wash it!

soooo important for a comfy home as accidents DO happen ~ lol!!

then i got to work and stitched up a zippered slipcover,

two pillows and two roll pillows...

don't you love the lines of this wicker chaise?!

curvaceous ~ no?!

    

i had been admiring Melinda's union jack pillows

so i tried my hand at two...

  

LOVE the way they turned out!

and the rose chintz pillows got their own slipcovers too

complete with sweet button closure tabs

using smooth, creamy white, vintage mother of pearl buttons...

and just a touch of lace...

aaaahhhhh...

time to sit for awhile in my "country living", slip covered chaise

 and soak up a few pages in a Jeanne d'Arc Living Magazine!

while i sip on a lavender soda :)

mmmm....

soooo good!!
