I found this chair on Craigslit a few weeks ago for $15. The lady that I purchased it from said it was her Great-Grandmother's. I loved the back of it and the leg details. I knew it would be the perfect desk chair for my recently redone desk.
As you can tell the fabric on the chair needs some TLC, and I am working on finding the perfect fabric that I can use on it. I also may be searching through all my remnants in the basement for options too.
Then I removed the layers of padding and other material from underneath. The bottom section of burlap is in wonderful shape. It took a lot of time to remove the staples all the way around, but I am sure glad I had the tools that my neighbor let me borrow to do so.
Sorry to make this a teaser post, but with my two graduate classes and work taking up time I haven't been able to document the progress of the chair yet. I hope to refinish it because of the wonderful details in the wood. I think I may go with a turquoise fabric on the cushion.
Any suggestions are welcome because this is the first time I've tackled a project like this one. Thanks!
