What a Great Look

Beautiful floral and striped slipcovers clothe the seating group in Diane’s family room. It’s hard to believe that each piece―even the gorgeous aqua armchairs―began as a bargain- basement find. “These are $20 chairs,” she says. “That’s why we needed Kendrah.”

For the chairs, the talented seamstress sewed slipcovers with deep, gathered skirts that brush the floor. For the sofa, she created a striped beige-and-white cover and then topped it with fringe-trimmed, aqua pillows. To dress up the stools at the breakfast bar, Kendrah sewed ruffled outfits accented with contrasting piping and fabric-covered buttons.
