I'm back in Houston and unfortunately I didn't finish the chair I bought up in Maine. It's painted a bright grassy green and the seat is upholstered with a great funky fabric, but the seat back still needs to be recovered. Sad, I know. It's blasphemy to leave a lovely chair like that half done! But don't worry, I'll get back to it eventually. I promise!
So what's the next big project you ask? The Wingback. This big purple monster I grabbed off the curb for free.
This is quite the reupholstery project I'm taking on. It requires a lot of tools and techniques that are completely foreign to me. But that's what this whole blog is about! Learning the trade and turning hideous beasts into gorgeous beauts. Or just pretty decent looking dames.
Here I go! Wish me luck!
Love the Beasts,
Emily
Good luck!!!! I can't believe you found that on the curb!!! I just turned the laptop around to show my mom and was like "can you BELIEVE that???". Crazy...
ReplyDeleteWow, what a great find! Seriously, I think I need to come with you sometime...you find all the great things! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteWOW!! What a score! I have tried reupholstery and let's just say I have better luck down other avenues. Let me know how it turns out! I know your end result will be smashing! I'll have to send you an email soon about what's up!! andrea@townandprairie
ReplyDeletegood luck, that looks like a lot of work! But you can't beat free, and it is a great style!
ReplyDeletePlease Please do a tutorial...I have two similar chairs sitting in my garage and I don't have a clue where to start. Also, the springs in mine are absolutely shot! :/ Not sure what to do about that, it's holding me back from starting.
ReplyDeleteI love this chair!! I can't wait to see what you do with this!!
ReplyDeleteI think you are going to do an amazing job on this chair! You are so lucky to find it, and I have no doubt that you will turn it into a beauty in no time at all. Look forward to seeing the end product. God bless xx
