Master Chair Redo

Evidently I have a chair obsession... A girl's gotta sit down right, pshhh.....

I picked up this new girl back in the fall, found her on craigslist along with a few other finds, for a whopping ten buckaroos... Ain't she a beaut? (vision, it's all about having a vision ;))




I knew pretty much what color I wanted to go with and sat on it, not literally, a while till I knew what fabric. While searching for my windows it hit me like a bolt of fabric, I knew what to do.


Yup, go figure...gray chevron. But I totally dig it. Drumroll please.....









Thinking it will work well with our room...


Bird pillow will prolly be gone in the morn, I'm on the hunt...

  7. Ugh! I almost bought a chair very similar to your before photo, but passed it up because I wasn't sure how it would turn out. Yours looks absolutely beautiful and gives me inspiration to tackle a similar project should I ever find a chair like that again. Wonderful job!
