The Purple Story (How we got started)

In 1988, Camay (owner and founder) was newly single and bought a tiny fixer-upper to call her own. She painted it purple inside and out. The front door was fuchsia and the shutters in deep plum. Purple was her “neutral” color.

For two months a secret “ad-mowerer” edged, trimmed, and mowed Camay’s yard until one morning, she caught him in the act. This happened over 23 years ago and Camay and Win have been together ever since.

When they decided to marry and blend households, the decorating challenges began. He refused to live with “that @#$% purple” and she didn’t want to settle on “boring bachelor beige”. Camay suggested slipcovers, but Win remembered the sloppy slipcover look from his mother’s house and firmly said no.
“I know we can make them differently,” Camay declared.

In 1993 she sold her purple house to begin the development of Changeable Chameleon Fine Furniture™ – Slip-covered Furniture Without the Slip! We call it Removable Upholstery because the covers fit so perfectly, one would never guess they are slipcovers!

In 1997, Win and Camay opened their own shop in the Village of Arroyo Grande on California’s beautiful Central Coast. They had one sofa and ten bolts of fabric.

We’ve expanded our inventory to over 400 bolts of decorator fabrics along with a great selection of gifts and accessories to complement any décor.
