Day 1 of Slipcover Week: Beautiful White Inspiration
So the Challenge this week on the CSI Project was Slipcovers and Upholstery. Wanna know something sad? I spent the first part of this week MAKING a slipcover that turned out, um…AWESOME!! How did I miss this?! If I’d blogged about it on Wednesday or Thursday then I could have entered. But here’s a horrible, guilty confession: I have seriously been slacking on reading blogs. I am subscribed to WAAAAAYY too many blogs and my Google Reader scares me. I mean like “1000+ unread items” scares me. So sometimes I just check ‘Mark All as Read.” And I’ve totally missed out on stuff lately. Guess I’ll have to weed through the Reader again.
Anyway, here are some amazing slipcovers both handmade and purchased, to kick off my big
Slipcover Reveal Week!

Is it just me or is white the go to color for decorating these days? Is it just a trend or are people afraid of color?
Hey Heidi! I am loving the direction your blog is going! I'm giving you a blogging award ;} Please go to my blog at http://www.achievingdomesticbliss.com for the presentation!
Have you tried the "next" button feature on google reader? You don't even have to go into the reader once you place that button on your toolbar. You simply click next and it will page through your unread blogs. Great way to skim if you don't have time to read. Check it out.
This is a really great site. I really love the pictures and just to see what is possible by creating your own slipcovers. It certainly saves alot of money, instead of buying a totally brand new sofa. Great Work!!!
Make your own recliner chair slipcovers
