Fringe Benefits

I have two parsons chairs in my bedroom that have slipcovers on them...they have been in need of some fringe or ribbon on the bottom so the legs of the chairs would not show...well I finally covered up those ugly legs. I found some fringe at Tuesday Morning...paid $5.99 for three yards...what a deal...I think I will be going back for more.I purchased these chairs a couple of years ago at a local furniture store at a really deep discount(wish I could remember what the price was but old age has taken care of that), purchased the slipcovers at Target for $10.00 each and now spent $6.00 for some fringe...and now my sitting area is complete.


Before the fringe


I wasn't kidding...what an UGLY leg!









Great stuff!

  2. What a difference the fringe has made. And~no sewing!! Can't beat that.

    Parsons chairs are really back in vogue don't you think? And I love the retro 60's fabric I have been seeing!!

    Great post, Linda! By the way, I sent you an email.

  8. Well, I'm so glad to have found you! I didn't know Tuesday Morning had fringe. And it's one of my regular haunts. Maybe it just depends on the store and what they happen to get in. But it looks stunning on your project! Adds just the right embellishment to go from plain to glam! And I love what you added it with. I'm remembering that one!

  9. Oh, I love it! Your parsons chairs look wonderful with the brown fringe you added to them! I have never heard of fabric tac before; is it essentially like glue? That is something to file away for future projects...I LOVE the color of aqua you chose for your round table, too! Together with the brown, your sitting area looks perfect!

    I am so happy you stopped by to say hello! It's so nice to meet you, and I am definitely following your blog! I look forward to reading more! :) I hope you have a great day!
