Two chairs and the ottoman done!

Two fairly easy upholstery jobs finished....now no excuse to get back to the large wing chair.
 Even the Amish liked this rocker...probably because it's black ;-)


Forgot to add the before pic

Gotta keep away from auctions!

When the bidding stalled at $15 for this mid century gem
 (with an ottoman) I just had to go to $20!
It rocks too (more like a bobble than an actual rock)!The original fabric was under the brown but I found a retro fabric that is just going to be perfect...can't wait to get started.

And gotta stay away from online fabric stores....but won't this look cool?

Done and love it!

Finished the lovely small arm chair.
Great fun working with the fabric, lines up almost perfectly...I won't mention where I missed if you don't see it ;-)
Here it is at home

The Next Chair

At a recent estate sale we found this chair that is perfect (well not the fabric, of course) for my friend's house. She had given me just the right fabric for it last year too!
 
Can't wait to see the transformation.

Starting to come together...

Adorable....I think.

A dear friend came by with this orange rattan-wicker chair. The seat was gone so I added a board and a
foam/Dacron topping. She is going to use it on a porch...so after a long look through my stash of fabric (nothing went with the bright orange) I found a chenille bedspread that I had already used for pillows for her...
Eureka, it worked! Fun, flirty and skirty.

More Wing Chairs!

At the auction picked up another two wing chairs...really only wanted the one on the left...but for ten bucks a piece I took them both.
Cat not included.
