New Pink Chenille Bedspread Chair Going To Japan



This is my latest creation made from a pink and white wedding ring chenille bedspread and my favorite pink cabbage rose fabric. It will be shipped to California, then put in a container to Japan . It will be one of the showcase pieces in a new shabby chic store. This is one of my first orders to go overseas. I feel Incredible that my creations are being shared with the world. Chenille bedspreads remind me of my youth. Carefree and Cozy. It gives you that warm and fuzzy feeling. I imagine the new owner snuggling up in it after a long day of work, being enveloped by its cuddly softness. Unwinding from a long day with a cup of tea and a good book?
I have recieved many other orders for these through my etsy shop and I am so excited to make the next one....wait to see....hugs, Donna :-)

super cute chair with white chenille bedspread slipcover and yummy ruffled trim




OMGOSH!! I just love this chair and the adorable little slipcover i made from a rose pattern vintage chenille bedspread.This chair has some wonderful lines and the prettiest curvy legs. I painted the legs white and chose my newest favorite chenille fabric. it is a thick 100% cotton with the prettiest all over rose pattern. The same bedspread fabric was used on the last sofa I made, which by the way, sold in 4 days. It is getting shipped on Monday to a lovely lady in Arizona. I am also enjoying making ruffles, they feel so soft and pretty. I think it adds romanticism and femininity. i have just listed it in my etsy shop. be sure to take a look. www.vintagechicfurniture.etsy.com . hugs, Donna :-)

OMG! My New Sofa Creation Slipcovered in Vintage Chenille Roses Bedspreads




WOW!!! This one is my best yet!! I love creating these slipcovered pieces. I use chenille bedspreads mixed with lovely roses fabrics in shades of white, pinks and aquas. I love brush fringe and have just scored 7 rolls of thick white fringe on ebay. I bought all they had, found in some warehouse- new old stock. awesome. i am already on my second roll (at 72 yards each, lol!!)
The fabrics are just yummy with beautiful roses and scrolls. there are 3 pillows included with luxurious down inserts, the center pillow is an awesome and rare needletuft chenille with a pretty flower design.
I was lucky enough to collect two beautiful white vintage chenille bedspreads with an all over rose pattern. They are some of my favorites to work with. They are so thick and durable. The ruffle trim is 600 linear feet long and took one entire bedspread. You can find this at my etsy store along with many more lovely things to beautify your home. Big hugs, donna :-)
