Loose Change







Can you think of a lovelier way to dress up a dining room and hide ugly chairs at the same time?  Loose covers are the perfect way to make ordinary chairs beautiful!

  9. I love dining slipcovers- a four year old guest mashed brownies into our white slips Saturday night and I did not even care- experience has taught me that the chocolate comes right out in the washing machine. Plus I slipped the kitchen chairs and dining chairs in the same fabric so that when I need more chairs in the dining room they have some relation...

  16. Apart from looking fabulous, they're also very handy when you live with young boys who think that dining chairs and napkins are one in the same thing!
