Sometimes a chair gets a chance at a second life, and a third, and a fourth. This comfortable living room chair became more than just furniture when it received a beautiful, personalized slipcover. Now it is the focal point of an exotic, textured space with hues of burnt cherry and deep jungle green. And, since it’s a slipcover, tomorrow it can be the old standby, and next week, a chocolate brown office chair.

A Slipcover Gave a Chair New Life
Sometimes a chair gets a chance at a second life, and a third, and a fourth. This comfortable living room chair became more than just furniture when it received a beautiful, personalized slipcover. Now it is the focal point of an exotic, textured space with hues of burnt cherry and deep jungle green. And, since it’s a slipcover, tomorrow it can be the old standby, and next week, a chocolate brown office chair.
If you have a baby, you know how important it can be to have a washable slipcover. This used Pottery Barn rocking chair needed a style makeover, but it also needed to be able to stand up to the kind of spills common in nurseries. A funky striped microfiber ensured easy, quick clean up. And though the slipcover fits so well you’d think it’s upholstered, this savvy mom can unzip and launder the removable slipcover any time she wants.
