Home Dec Project

  Over the past year I have worked on several home decorating projects, including, painting every room in the house, making slipcovers and curtains and other home furnishing accessories.  I remember when I first built the house I could not wait to get rid of the builders white paint throughout the house.  After 13 years of "color" I could not wait to get back to neutrals!  Funny how that happens.  
This is an early example in the slipcover project.  The sofa and love seat were plaid.  I bought slipcovers from Ballard designs which were about six inches too short in sofa length.  I cut them, inserted matching fabric, made gussets in one and added a zipper to the back of the other.  I love how they came out!

In photos the sofa and love seat appear to be different colors.  I think this is due to the stained glass window above the love seat. No matter the lighting, in photos I couldn't get them to match.  In person they are beautiful.
