So, here is my big news from yesterday!! I finally had my new slipcover made! And I am giddy with delight over the work and fine craftsmanship of Christiana of Ruffled Linens. After seeing her work on a home tour this spring it was love at first sight and I have dreaming since May of a shabby chic covering for our poor vintage sofa. I love its lines and shape but since this is our living room's main attraction and where we all hang out, I knew its days of pristine original upholstery were coming to a near end. You can see its amazing transformation.. Not having a sewing knack whatsoever, I was eager to see how she whipped this up in only a few short hours. It was a miraculous metamorphosis. So if you are in the Tennessee or Alabama area and need a revitalized room Christiana is your gal. She sews ruffled tablecloths, draperies, shower curtains.. you name it .. all in her signature Shabby Chic style.  And for those of you not in this area keep checking her Etsy shop for new arrivals this fall. :)

ps. see if you can guess what kind of fabric this is.
