we completed our first chair in reupholstery class.
here's the before:
ta-dah... the after:
looks brand new!
frankly, we're multitasking at the moment - trying to squeeze in as many projects as possible. we found this chair (along with its three siblings) rotting away in a warehouse liquidation sale long ago and got all four for $40. they're in sorry shape, but with a little TLC, they could look great flanking a couch.
here, you can really see its lumpy bumpy seat.
the good news? the springs are good shape.
the bad news? the foam - not so much.
it reminded me of cornmeal.
jack, one of our classmates, has been working hard on this beauty of a chair.
it had been sitting in his mother-in-law's house for decades.
hidden in its layers of fabric and foam were all these little treasures: a kitchen knife, a plastic comb, a christmas lightbulb, a swiss army knife, tummy medicine, a penny, and my favorite - one sad little puzzle piece.
