White Slip Covers Gone
I'm throwing in the towel. I can't stand it anymore.
I have always, always, always loved white slip covered chairs and sofas. I just love them. I don't ever get tired of them. I can change the look of them by throwing a new cushion on them. They can be placed in any room in the house because they go with everything. They are perfect in every way except for 1 major problem.
White Slip Covered Chairs + 18 Month Old Baby + Big Golden Retriever = DISASTER
On the weekend the filth and grime of my white slip covered armchairs in our lounge room got to the point where I couldn't stand it any longer. I ripped off the covers and threw them into a big tub of cold water with lots of Nappy San. After a day or so of soaking I removed them and lay them out onto some towels on a big table and let them dry.
Tonight I put the covers back onto the chairs whilst they were still damp so that they would fit back on perfectly. I was so relieved to see them on the chairs looking all white, fresh and pristine.
I walked away from the chairs for approximately 3 minutes. I walked back into the lounge room and there it was. Smack bang in the middle of the seat of one of the freshly washed chair covers was a big dirty 18 month old hand print of biscuit smudged right into the fabric. I couldn't believe my eyes.
I ripped the covers off the chairs and I have vowed and declared - THAT'S IT. No more white slip covered furniture.
Tomorrow I am going to work and I am going to select a fabulous patterned fabric to cover the chairs in which will disguise the dirt and grime.
Good-bye pretty, simple, elegant, interchangeable, timeless slip covers. I promise you I'll pull you out again someday when it's safe!!
