Look at this great old chair I scored today during a thrift store pop-in.
Yes, in its current state, it's a disaster...But with a little clean up...it could shine.
It's quite comfortable, and has great tiger oak rolled arms.......
Yes it has some caning issues, and a lot of dirt.
The minute I got home, I pulled it out of the car and got to work.
I gave all the wood a thoroughly cleaning.
It was filthy and once I washed down all the wood,
you could really see the golden hue of the oak.
After it dried, I gave everything a nice rub down
with Howards Restor-a-Finish in Golden Oak.
I removed the cushion and all the old fabric and foam,
added new foam and batting, and then upholstered
in a grain sack type fabric in thick oatmeal linen with blue stripes.
These pillows were some of my late night projects this week.
I ripped out all the old broken caning under both arms. I like the open look.
Beautiful wood detail.
Yes, there's still a small hole in the back caning,
but pillows hide it quite nicely,
so I'm leaving it just as it is for now.
Can you believe it???
A SheShe chair makeover that didn't involve painting!!!!!
LOVE this chair..
