chair love...

this chair was picked up at GW...

a lady's chair with lots of potential.

she had a puffed up seat,

with funny, strawy innards,

and a gazillion tacks and a thousand nails.

her puffed-up seat was fascinating

with its coils and knotted string under upholstery tape.

 

oh yeah,

this lady's chair was a piece of work!

she needed to be turned

from an ugly duckling into a swan.

after giving her a new painted

body

and the empty places filled in with underlayment...

 

foamed and padded in the right places,

she was dressed from a matelasse pillow sham

(sh-h-h...from the GW!).

and because she is a lady's chair,

her owner decided she needed to be a

'girly-girly's chair.

she was trimmed with pom-poms and buttons...

and her front design had tiny holes in it.

so her mistress used upholstery tacks

saved from another dismantled chair project

to create a lovely design.

  

  here she is...

in her lovely new body

with her lovely new dress!
