Auctions and inventory

Picked up this Victorian Eastlake settee at the auction. Paid way more than I usually do. $45 for both.
I have a few ideas for the fabric...cant wait to get to it.

I'm also continuing the coffee bag theme and upholstering some old dining chairs I've had in storage for a long while.

 Still needs a little touch up and the gimp edging

















The in process and before pics.

Famous Art Metal Furniture find.

Just the day before I picked up this office chair I was at the local museum learning all about the history of the Art Metal Furniture Co. and going gaga over an 1890 metal roll top desk.
The next day I picked up this really heavy and well made office chair at an estate sale...as I was taking it apart what do I see? The Art Metal Furniture Co of Jamestown Label!

More coffee please.

This was given to me, probably came off the street. Stripped it down to the frame. I forgot to take a before picture..it would have given you nightmares, it was icky.
But the burlap coffee bag cover wakes this up...I think.
