Yea! She's done!!!
I bought this little settee/chair for $35 at the thrift store...and worried I'd made a hasty decision. After some elbow grease and another $20, I'm quite pleased with how she turned out.
After pulling and ripping and literally man-handling the old upholstery, etc. off, I re-did the upholstery, er, the springs and such. I learned a few things I'd do different next time.
Since it's going in Sister's room, I opted for a very light pink. It's called rehearsal dinner. It's so light, it's practically white.
And then began the upholstery part. Thanks to info found on this website (the nester sent me there), in combo with a book my neighbor loaned me, I think it turned out alright.
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! I absolutely love the colors and patterns that you chose. It's gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI am extremely impressed! As a very amateur re-upholsterer myself, I'm intrigued by this chair! I'm bookmarking the website you link to for future reference. Well done!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, it looks amazing! I love the different colored piping you lined the lime green diamonds with! It is going to be a very popular chair, especially as she gets older! She will definitely want to take this to college-and it looks like something that would cost about 200-300 dollars!
ReplyDeleteI am so intimidated by re-upholstering! Very impressive. Very impressive, indeed.
ReplyDeleteWow! That is FABULOUS! Sister is going to love it!!!
ReplyDeleteIt turned out great! I know she will love it!
