saturday was our first of seven sessions, and we had a blast.
for our first small project we thought this danish chair (and it's twin) could use cushions...
... and this $5 yard sale find, a thonet bent plywood chair, could use new padding and vinyl.
we got introduced to all the tools the pros use: mallets, chisels, staple guns, etc.
then, it was time to tear things up!
once all the staples removed and the icky vinyl was torn away, we covered the old cotton foam with new dacron.
next week, it will be complete. still deciding on what color vinyl though...

We have a v. v. similar Thonet chair. We'd love to cover ours, too. Next time you come to NYC, can we put you to work? Haha! :)
