Mind If I Slip Into Something More....Leathery?

leatherslipcover_thumb28(This chair brought to you by Lane Industries)

This just up at Patricia Gray's blog: an entry on leather slipcovers. When we first saw this, we thought, Huh? it just seems weird---aren't slipcovers supposed to be either your grandmother's chintz or a tidy white cotton duck? And in either case, isn't the point of slipcovers to protect the furniture from Kitty's claws and Junior's muddy sneakers? How could leather slipcovers possibly work?

And then, when you look at the photos, and give it a little thought, this is clearly one of those forehead-clapping ideas, at which you say, Why didn't I think of that?

Leather slipcovers are good alternatives due to the durability and classic appeal of the material. It can indeed raise eyebrows but people would get used this concept. The tough yet aesthetically pleasing material can last a lifetime as long as proper care is applied.
