An alley find…….
Great lines,
very petite….
This L O N G process begins with disassembly...
All the old upholstery was removed.
You can learn a lot by deconstructing something...
Underneath the upholstery, is another layer,
which I'm leaving….
I begin by painting the legs
in Annie Sloan French Linen.
Next step: the seat….
I'm adding some batting for extra fluff...
…along the inside back and arms.
Next, deciding on fabrics………
so many choices………...
One given:
This burlap coffee sack for the back…
(Thank you, Bonita!)
After looking at a zillion pieces of fabric,
I opt for my trusty striped ticking...
I decided to keep the tufting casual.
I used mismatched oversized buttons
instead of upholstered ones.
It's coming together……
Wilma loves the feel of new upholstery
on her claws. ;)
Other side, back.
And my favorite as always,
the back.
Next step, edging everything in trim.
It's done!
I used another stripe for the seat cushion,
with oversized piping.
The flip side of the cushion is
a natural linen.
wo looks in one!
I added a little throw pillow that I made
with fabric from a linen skirt.
And this baby….
…is just about...
done!!!!!!
