CHAIR MAKEOVER

Remember this plan from back in the summer?  
It is finally coming together.  
The family has moved into their brand new home and the decorating has begun. 


I was on the hunt for a comfy chair to add some seating to their new family room.
I found the perfect chair at a local on-line estate sale.
I bought it sight unseen.  
I was so excited when I picked it up.  It is a very well made chair.
The fabric on it was not bad, but not quite what we were looking for. 


I picked up some of the gorgeous navy and white herringbone fabric for the makeover. 
The navy and white floral is for the window treatments.


I love the way it turned out. 
My client has not seen it in person yet.  
I picked it up yesterday from the upholsterer and I brought it in my house to snap some pictures.

I love the subtle herringbone pattern.


We decided to leave the skirt off.  It gives it a more updated look.


It is currently residing in the corner of my living room. 
I kind of like the idea of having a chair in the corner.  
This one is a little large for the space, but I may be on the hunt for something now. 
It will be making a move to our storage room tomorrow.  
I just don't trust my kids not to mess it up!!


I am excited to hand it over to my client. I know she's going to love it too. 
Hopefully I will have some shots of the room to show you soon.

And in case you haven't heard, the Reds lost last week. 
So while we won't be celebrating a win, I still have plans to have a little party.
I promise to keep you posted.

  1. Andrea, love how the chair turned out. The classic herringbone (in my favorite hue) was the perfect choice! I think your client is going to be very happy. Can't wait to see how the drapes turn out!

  2. The chair looks fantastic! It's funny how I noticed the curve in the arms so much more with the new fabric. I love a great herringbone pattern. It's lovely!

    And those Reds! Oh, how sad I was to see them lose! Honestly, I never really considered the idea of them losing that series after winning two on the road. Devastating!

  5. Very good choice of fabric! I just slip covered a chair with similar lines. and it was so comfy and looked so nice in my house I was a little sad to send it home with its owner! I may be on the lookout for a chair too!
    And you must be from Ohio too?? I'm in Covington - little village close to Piqua and Troy!

  9. Ahhh I am so excited to read this post today Andrea, you have no idea. I have been debating about chairs for my living room and just seeing how beautifully this one for your client came out helps make my decision easier. I love the fabric and the comfiness of that chair!! It looks so great in your house! Too bad you have to let it go :) Great job.

  11. Are you sure you're handing it over to your client? I think it looks perfect in that corner and I love the fabric that was chosen for it. The English roll-arm is one of my favorite type of arm styles too - a great addition for their home.
