Custom Chair Covers

I had been collecting vintage
fabric for many years but had never
used it...until I found two parson's
chairs for my dining room and decided
to have slip covers made out of it for them.~~
They are so shabby chic and lovable
I can't stand it !~ The strip of brownish fabic in the back
matches some of the fabric that is on the seat of the chair.
I have put anique buttons on it too... hither and yon.

Rose, these are so shabby..the ruffle on the back reminds me of a bustle! :0)

Queen, I am LAUGHING....I had not thought of that...but you are right...it does look like a little bustle back there.~~
My other chair has different fabric on it..for the most part..but I can't get to it to photograph it right now...too much stuff in the way in the dining room...imagine that ??~~

What a neat idea, rose!...is that a ruffle all around it too? not the brownish piece... maybe show us the front side too, if you can!...i bet the chairs are lovely
with your table...

Gypsy,the ruffle is around the entire floral back part of the chair. ~ It's hard to explain.
~I'll get another picture of it tomorrow ( a close up) to show you. ~ OK?

June, I really like them too...that is what it's all about really I guess...if we love what we surround ourselves with in our homes...and it makes us happy and content to look at them each day. ~~
I have a dear friend who does not understand Shabby Chic, Antiques or Victorian at all...but I love her all the same.
She made me laugh so hard one day..when she said..." Why are Antiques so expensive...everything is SO OLD and they have all been USED ! " ~~
I love it.~~
