Slip covers ....something old ....something new.....

Well I finally got around to doing something that has taken me a couple of years to get motivated.  The lines on these footstools were so lovely I could not resist the purchase but I hated the gold velvet color.  

I thought about painting them with fabric paint but for some reason that just was not a good fit for us and our household.  Then about upholstering them but that still left me with the WHAT IF...  WHAT IF I SPILL SOMETHING ON THEM.... so I decided slipcovers were the way to go. 

 

These were pretty simple to make.  I just reverse pinned the top and then sewed ruffles from the bottoms of old linen curtains I had around the house.  

Slipcovers are the way to go in this household-I can wash them if they get dirty-(which they will with this crew).  

So what do you think gold or white?  I like the white of course.
