This is the view from my cottage today.
So I decided to dust off this friend who does not get much use around my house.
While snacking on these....
I made some slipcover mistreatments for my stools. I used a vintage grain sack that I purchased last summer. I don't know if I am totally crazy about the outcome - I may add some vintage buttons on the back for an extra detail. This is one of those projects that has been on my "to do" list for a long time. Today's snow, gave me the perfect opportunity to give it a go.
I hope it is more springlike at your cottage - off to buy some daffodils!

Super cute! I actually bought some burlap bags to do something similar! Your chairs are super cute the way they are but I think they would also be so cute with a little frill around the bottom! I just picked up some slipcovered barstools that have the slipcover covering the seat too - I want to have some new ones made with a little frill around the seat! You're probably going "What?!?!". I love the blue stripes on yours! Meg
ReplyDeleteThey look great! I think the buttons would be a nice touch but they are really nice the way they are if you decided to leave them.

I think they look fantastic. What a terrific idea :) Too bad I don't have bar stools ;) But I think I'll try something like this since I should have some of the fabric left over after I make my grain sack pillow :)

I like the idea of adding a ruffle/trim at the bottom - they need something to look more "finished". Stay tuned....

I think they look really great as is, but I also think buttons or a ruffle trim {the ruffle would be such a nice contrast to the more rustic grain sack material} would take it over the top. Very creative use of a grain sack I must say!
ReplyDeleteI love these slipcovers!! They are perfect for the stools. Makes me want to try something on my sewing machine (which has yet to be out of the box!).
