Hated the slipcover from Overstock, and it is going back! It is way too big for my chair and it's not white. See how it clashes with the rug? I was stuck at a dead end with not much time, and I really wanted this awesome chair to be a focal point in the nursery. I had decided on a cute green for the side table with a turquoise glass base lamp, so this muted peony pattern is just not cutting it at all!While at my little sister's gorgeous baby shower last Saturday, I told our cousin and professional designer, Laura, about my predicament. She said, "Why aren't you reupholstering it yourself?" The truth is I thought that was a project completely out of my range of skill! Of course, at 36 weeks pregnant I ran right out to Joann's last Sunday and promptly found an awesome fabric at 60% off! Ding ding ding ding!!!! I felt like I had won the lottery. It is by Baringer and it is called "Peacock". I love it!
We've already carefully removed all the old fabric, and I have cut each section of fabric using the old pieces as a pattern. I've also begun to staple the bottom kick piece, and it looks very professional if I do say so myself. Joann's only had 4 & 7/8ths yards of this left and none in the warehouse. I had just enough fabric, the perfect amount with not much at all left over, so I guess it was meant to be. Here is a good look at my CL chair before & after:
