Yay! My White Slipcover!

After being delayed by snow storms and ice, my white slipcover is done!  I am so happy to share it with you.  My friend The Drapery Lady did such a great job!  Come do the happy dance and jump up and down with me!  Wait ~ if you just had something to eat, maybe we should just go do it over here ~ away from my new slipcover.  Here's the before.

And here it is now!  {I have to steam those burlap tablecloths so ignore the wrinkles}.

I love it!  It looks so much better than the old blue floral ~ don't you think?  I can't think that will be back in style any time soon! When we do wind up moving, I'll be able to use this sofa with whatever decor I choose.  Best of all ~ IT'S WASHABLE! 

The room is coming along, slowly but surely, and I will share some pictures of everything I've done to date next week.  I'll be asking for your opinion in my next post.  It deals with the blank space above the sofa.  Even I need an objective opinion sometimes!

Once more:

Okay, gotta go look at my new slipcover again!

I'm sharing my happiness and celebrating with It's So Very Cheri's Celebration linky party, Miss Mustard Seed's Furniture Feature Friday,and Before & After party at Thrifty Decor Chick.

Don't forget our Ashley Brooke Design Giveaway for 10 Valentine's Day cards!  Ends Friday!

Blog Of The Week ~ The Drapery Lady

In my continuing effort to bring some blogs to your attention, blog of the week this week is The Drapery Lady. Elisa is (so far) the first person I've met through Twitter, in person! Besides being very friendly, Elisa is very passionate about what she does and I got to see some of her work in progress when I visited her.

Elisa's profile says: "The Drapery Lady is here to make your decorating dreams come true. Follow this blog and you will get great tips to have a beautifully decorated home with any budget." Not only do you get great tips, you get "before" and "after" pictures, how to choose fabrics for specific applications, decorating on a budget and much more.

I highly recommend that you visit Elisa a/k/a The Drapery Lady and check out what she has to offer!
