Today I decided to update this sweet little
french country arm chair I just purchased.
Nothing wrong with it really,
but you know I have to put my stamp on it…
Plus it's always nice to freshen up upholstery.
So after cleaning the wood frame,
I removed the dust cover enough to find
the screws that secure the bottom cushion.
I removed that for recovering.
I removed the piping from around the chair front, and reupholstered in
this sweet homespun ticking in powder blue and cream.
Then I reglued the original trim.
I added a large nail head to secure the ends.
I left the back of the chair as is.
I recovered the bottom and then reattached it.
Here it is in my booth at RVA Antiques on the Avenue.
Here's a similar chair.
King's Lane for $749.
Mine is $259.
What a deal.
I also added a pair of these amazing Lucite chairs.
Boy are they hard to photograph!!!!!!!!
The pair is $259.
You need to come shop here!
