The day before we left town for Christmas I discovered this chair on craigslist.
In the midst of packing chaos, my wonderful husband found time to pick it up for me. It only took a little bit of convincing.
He's calling it my Christmas present.
I went out and picked up this book a few days later and got a few tips from my Aunt who happens to be an pro at this kind of stuff...
Then I got this for my birthday from my Mom.
Now what have I gotten myself into? I will soon find out-- and I guess so will you...
Oooooh, fun! Can't wait to see how it turns out!
ReplyDeleteAgreed! Can't wait to see the finished product!
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited to see the results! I saw a chair very similar to that and haven't convinced Shaun that it's a good idea yet - maybe your project will help.
ReplyDeletevery exciting!
ReplyDeleteI have no doubts, but that you will turn that chair into something spectacular! Looking forward to seeing the results!
ReplyDeleteI like it - the chair's got great bones :) Is this one going to end up in your living room?
ReplyDeleteya right, i was just thinking about undertaking such a project myself but i have yet to convince myself. but i just read today on the fabric.com blog about her first upholstery project. she used the "Complete Step by Step Upholstery" by David Sowle. I can't wait to see how it turns out. i LOVE the chair :)
