Before & After: Dying An IKEA Slipcover
Fellow blogger, Candy Glendening, sent me this photo of her chaise DIY project. Candy bought the white slipcover to go with her Ektorp chaise, then dyed it the perfect color green with a water colored mottling. Cold water dyes work best to prevent shrinking.
Here's a photo of the chaise in her family room. I love the red curtains with those dark blinds. You can read the details of her room makeover on her blog by following this link.
Do you have a DIY project you’re proud of? Send it my way. In the meantime, lets all pat Candy on the back for her project. A job well done – and brave! But then, Candy is an expert in the art of dying fabrics.

Good news! Candice had does remember the color and gave me a full tutorial in how to dye slip covers and other things. Stay tuned for next week when I’ll write it all up in a post.
I love this. This is the exact color I was planning on dying my ikea chairs. May I ask what brand of dye you used and what color??? I am new at this so any advice you have would be greatly appreciated!
