Slipcovers Are Always in Style
We just got the latest issue of Style at Home magazine and we were overjoyed (but not surprised) at their announcement that slipcovers are back in style. But hey, we always knew that slipcovers were timeless… they should have called us for a quote and our opinion! Basically, the article says that modern slipcovers aren’t the ones you remember from decades ago. The one’s around today (and the ones that we craft at Elegant Changes) are refined and sophisticated. And since slipcovers can be customized, they give the room a whole new look at...

It’s really getting hot out there! But we bet you’re waiting until the last possible minute to crank up the air conditioner. Hey, we don’t blame you. Not only is it expensive, but air conditioners and cooling systems aren’t that great for the planet. In order to cool us down, air conditioners spew over a half billion tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere each year and contribute 24% of the country’s sulfur dioxide emissions, which is the main ingredient in acid rain. There’s plenty you can do cut your energy bill and be eco...

read moreSunbrella Has Your Patio Cushions Covered
One of the things we love about the summer is entertaining on our rooftop patio – nothing beats a view of the lake, some steak on the barbeque and cool, fruity drinks. We’ve even put up a gazebo for a little shade from the sun’s heat. But what really helps to tie our outdoor room look together are bright, colourful patio furniture cushions. We’ve started to get orders for custom patio cushions covers. After a couple of seasons, the material on cushions that came with our clients’ sets start to come apart and look...

read moreQuality Vs. Quantity – The Elegant Changes Difference
We recently went to a hamburger joint near Elegant Changes (shout out to Woody’s Burger Bar and Grill), and we saw a sign that really resonated with us. Basically, it said: “We don’t serve fast food, we serve quality food. And quality food takes time to make, so be prepared to wait about 20 minutes for your order.” And they were right – their burgers were awesome and well worth the wait. And that’s how it is with everything we make at Elegant Changes. We don’t rush what we do – we deliver quality slipcovers, drapes and...
