Before and After Slipcover

I don't think I've ever shown the before picture of my sofa...well, here it is. I actually made this slipcover before blogging. So, I used the opportunity to take a before shot while washing my slips! It's a green check...not my style, but I loved the bones and the shape of it. And also the big fluffy cushions. I did buy it at a thrift store. Someone asked me about smells of thrift store furniture. Febreze can only do so much. I always sniff before I buy. I have passed up some great pieces because they didn't smell great. Use your best judgement.

I also, wanted to say a big "thanks" to everyone who participated in the Slipcover Party! I loved seeing all your before and afters and the slips you dressed your furniture in. There are some super talented, super detailed people out there! Make sure you check through all the links to see what and how people are making slipcovers...to continue to reuse what they have. I'm sure we'll do this again. I hope we've inspired you to make some slips and to make your furniture new again!
