Fresh Couch

Hi there! I'm just wrapping up a couple of projects before I take a vacation break. And I LOVE how this one turned out :) Remember these projects?

Well, this time we worked on the couch in this client's formal living room (I have to say that she has the most beautiful home!).

It's a Calico Corners couch in a classic style. My client was just having some difficulty working with the green color. And she wanted to update the look a little. She contemplated several fabric options, but settled on a great choice - Pottery Barn curtain panels in a weighty linen-cotton blend (these are similar). She pre-washed (and dried) them and they worked very well :)

Isn't that a beautiful room? And there is the couch, newly dressed. My client also removed the original skirt so we could do a shorter version - just enough to let the dark legs peak out.

Corner pleats and tailored arm covers.

And then we tried out a pillow that my client had made...

I know she is playing with several other pillow fabric options :)

In the end, the best result: "It is exactly what I wanted!"

Have a great weekend!

P.S. When I am not hanging out with my family or sewing, I am enjoying these new home design pleasures: reading The Nesting Place by Myquillyn Smith (aka The Nester) and watching Fixer Upper on HGTV. You must check them out if you haven't already - so much inspiration!!

P.P.S. Linking up here :)
