EACH SUMMER, INTERIOR designer Ken Stückenschneider transforms the look of his country home’s wicker porch furniture with ease. The cushions, dressed in off-white and tan stripes to complement the winter view, are now clothed in a lush fern print that echoes the greens of the trees and tall grasses surrounding the property.
Slipcovers give homeowners the ability to change their décor with the seasons, says Stückenschneider, whose clients, from St. Louis to Aspen, appreciate the versatility that slipcovers provide. Covering a family room sofa or set of dining chairs in a floral or other summery fabric gives a room seasonal flair.

Cut from the Same Cloth
“Turkey Tracks” is a 19th-century quiltmaking pattern that has the appearance of little wandering feet. Patterns like the tracks, and their traditions and myths, have been passed down through the generations, from their frontier beginnings to today, where a generation of makers has embraced the material as a means of creating something new. Olivia Jondle is one such designer. Here, she’s taken an early turkey track-pattern quilt, cut it into various shapes, and stitched the pieces together, adding calico and other fabric remnants as needed. The result is a trench coat she calls the Pale Calico Coat. Her designs are for sale at The Rusty Bolt, Jondle’s small-batch fashion company based in St. Louis. —SAMANTHA STEVENSON
