Read MoreA Behind-the-Scenes Look at a Slipcover
Now that we’ve started up with our Slipcover sale, Elegant Changes wants to take you on a “behind-the-scenes” tour of a slipcover. That way, we could show you how easy it is to get a custom-fitted slipcover that can be taken on and off in just a few seconds.

We wanted to share one of our recent custom slipcover orders with you. They were made for a set of dining room chairs that the client wanted to update with the seasons.

Read MoreSlipcovers 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 a reasonable cost. Style at Home has a few suggestions of what you should consider before you buy a slipcover and we’ve...
