Furniture Slipcovers Inspire Friends To Decorate For The Holidays

My dinner party on Saturday was a great success and a jolly time was had by all!  I managed to get most of the meal prepared in advance, so I was quite relaxed by the time everyone arrived.  I’d made some mulled wine to welcome them, which went down very well.

Anyway, everyone seemed very impressed with my dining room’s transformation.  I’d lit candles and added some dried flower arrangements, but the main thing that gave the room such an elegant new look was the covers on the chairs.  My everyday pine dining chairs and my mum’s 2 folding chairs looked wonderful all dressed up in my new burgundy slipcovers.

My friends loved the dining chair slipcovers!  It’s such a simple idea to dress up your chairs for a special occasion, but none of them had thought of it before.  They were all inspired to try them for themselves over the holidays, especially when I told them how cheap they were. 

One of my friends, Patricia, has two young children, one’s 3 years old, the other’s 18 months.  After going into my living room and seeing my trusty sofa slipcover, she decided the idea of fitting furniture slipcovers over all her new couches and chairs was wonderful.  She’s going to buy a set of washable slipcovers for her family room as soon as she can, so she doesn’t have to rush around over the holidays scrubbing dirty marks off her seats!

I think everyone went home feeling inspired to give their homes a seasonal makeover!
