THE EVER POPULAR WHITE LINEN

 I delivered this slipcover yesterday to a client in La Jolla.  There was no need to take a picture of the 'before' as it was also a white linen, but was waaaay past its prime.



 Side view
 Instead of the buttons I normally do, my client requested something different.  This was after I had already cut the slipcover with the intention of doing buttons, so I had to figure out another solution.  They have dogs and were afraid that the dogs may chew the buttons off.  It was too late to do a zipper down the side and in an effort to foil the dogs, I chose to do ties.  
 The ties are hidden so there is nothing for the dogs to munch on!  My client was very happy with the compromise and I now have another option to offer future clients.  


Since I normally do not get sunset shots, I thought yesterday was the perfect opportunity since I was in La Jolla at the right time.  I left my client's house and made my way to La Jolla Shores.  As you can see, I was a little too late and only got the very last sliver of the sun sinking into the ocean.  I may try again today, here in Coronado, as we are having simple beautiful weather and the sunsets have been pretty spectacular.

The slipcover is beautiful and I like the ties. I am thinking of white for a couch and chair...does it really wash up as great as I've heard?

I love La Jolla and the beach when we visited a few years ago. What a pretty sunset picture! Hope all is well with you, Tamerie!

XO,
Jane

Love the linen! It is such a nice fabric to work with. Don't you love how those challenges come out better than the original idea?

The white slipcover looks great!

I just found your blog through the Attic Girls, and think it's divine. It's such a treat to find other Coronado bloggers!
