my chair is done! the upholsterers called yesterday and told me i could pick the pillows up whenever i wanted, and i drove straight to the shop! i love the way it turned out.
remember what it looked like before? i chose the grey geometric fabric because i decided grey was the best, as far as a neutral, and i wanted something that i will (hopefully!) be able to work with for a while! i initially painted the frame coral, but i decided it was too feminine and bright (jordan agrees :) ), so i painted it a hand-mixed off-white. for those of you that asked, i'm not sure of the names or makers of any of the fabrics, but they were all samples from lewis & sheron, here in atlanta.
i'm really happy with the way it turned out!
next, i wanted to post this here (i've also posted it on craigslist). i am selling my mid-century dresser/console in order to make room for some shelving units! i'd love to keep it, but i just don't have room for it anywhere!
it's in pretty good condition, and the measurements are: 58" long, 20" deep and 31" tall. i'm only selling locally, sorry far-away folks! it's solid wood, and fairly heavy. still has original hardware! i think it was probably made in the 50's or 60's. there are a few bumps and bruises, as you can see from the photo, but nothing that couldn't be sanded down. i painted it white, but you could, of course strip it back down to it's pretty wooden finish if you wanted. there doors are a little bumpy, due to me applying some textured paper a year or so ago, but that is something that could be removed as well. it has 3 working drawers, and two doors with storage space inside (we store records in them - they are pretty deep). i am asking $130, OBO.
email me at kristen.fountain@gmail.com, if you are local and interested in it! pick up only.
love love love that fabric! totally changed the dated look of that chair, great job!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous chair!! it turned out great.
ReplyDeleteHey, what did you ever do with that wing chair you recovered?
thank you! i ended up giving the wingback chair away to a friend when i moved.
ReplyDeleteThat chair is FABULOUS! I was recently given a bunch of coffee table type books, one of which was on upholstery 101 or something. Im waiting for the right time to ask hubby to redo a chair for me.
ReplyDeleteGreat job! But the girl in me still think it needs a pop of color - maybe a coral or navy throw pillow???
ReplyDeletevickie- i agree. don't you worry, i have a passion for throw pillows, and i have my eye on some chevron ones........mmmm....i need a room just for pillows at my little house........ :)
ReplyDeletethat looks great. im so impressed by people who can do that. because i. can. not.
ReplyDeleteThe chair looks great! I think it was a good choice to go with the more neutral fabric and white frame. It'll fit in with so many different color schemes now. :)
ReplyDeleteWish I lived closer! I have been looking for a dresser just like that but Hawaii craigslist is really horribly awful.
Dropping by from knack's blog and I love yours! Great redesign with the chair!
ReplyDeleteYour chair looks awesome! Nice job!
ReplyDeleteThe chair looks lovely...I never commented the other day because I hated the coral...so glad to see you changed it :)
