Oh my dear little cane backed side chair!
If you reach back into your memory, you might remember that I purchased this little beauty at Community Forklift last October...for $10.
When I pealed off the ugly, stained fabric from the original seat cushion, I found that it was smelly and disintegrating. I ordered a fresh, clean hypo-allergenic (real fancy, y'all) cushion to replace it and promptly threw the old one away.
I caved and painted another piece of furniture Paris Grey and used dark wax to give it an aged, textured look. I chose a neutral material to reupholster it and commissioned my mom to pick out a nice gimp to complete the look.
I am very pleased at the final result--the cane backing already had so much natural interest that it was easy to make it into a knockout.
As with all of your furniture redos. . .beautiful! I love the tone on tone!
ReplyDeleteOne of my favs yet! Love the fabric and gimp. I always think of reupholstering as expensive and difficult, but I guess when it's just a lil seat it's do-able! Thanks for sharing!
