The Best Seat in the House...Finale

Okay, time to "fess up".   For some reason I stalled on finishing this slipcover last Summer.  It finally occurred to me that I wasn't going to get it done.  So I commissioned my good friend, Julie, who makes slipcovers all the time, to finish the job for me.  All I cared about at this point, was completing the project.  So here you go...one year later!!  I know...............

Old photo of the chair, below:

Julie, you're my HERO!!!
This completely AMAZING pillow, below, came from Pottery Barn and was a birthday gift to me last month.  It's 24" inches square.  LOVE IT!!!
I leave you today with pics of my new "do".  The photo below was taken just a couple of weeks ago.  You can see how dark my roots had gotten.  My highlights were disappearing. 
Kim to the rescue!  You're a miracle worker, friend. 
We also put lots more layers in.  I hope you're enjoying your Summer!

    I admire/envy anyone who can make slipcovers! I just love that look-so comfy. Your new do is great-you really have a ton of hair...mine is getting thin :( and of course your smile is beautiful-I've missed your posts. Hope you're feeling better~

    I love your slipcover! I love it when a project finally gets done! I love your hair! You look so young. Definitely not old enough to be a grandma. Mimi

    How good does it feel to have another project completed?!! I'm loving your new 'do' too...colour & layers are gorgeous, add so much texture!! Seeing your stars & stripes cushion cover brings to mind all the union jack accessories available in the UK at the moment!! With the Queens diamond Jubilee & the Olympics we can't get away from patriotic merchandise!! Nice, but in small doses please!! Tasteful, like your cushion! :D

    Hi M.L. Julie is my hero too. She taught me to slip cover. I've since given that particular chair away but am thinking my front room chair may need a lift in the future. Thanks for sharing.

    P.s. I've never known you to "not" look cute. You are beautiful inside and out.
