This chair looks gooooood!
So, it's taken up most of my free time for the past week, but I finally finished reupholstering this chair for the Housing Works benefit next week (except for the back panel, which is awaiting delivery of some tack strips). Quite an improvement, don't you think? I wanted to keep the triple bump back cushion, but in reality it would have been easier to have started over again with a new profile -- maybe some buttons instead.
Still, my upholstering skills are sharpening.
Here's a reminder of what the chair looked like before. It's quite an interesting piece, and it's going to look great in our room.
We're still working on gathering some stuff, and I just found out yesterday that a chandelier we thought we would get is actually going to be donated after all. I can't wait to start putting it all together!
This weekend will be devoted to the next project. Here's a look at some of the materials -- what could we possibly be working on?
More to come!

cool chair.
Wow! What a transformation! It looks great. Gives me hope for a chair that's been in the family for way too long. :)
Is this going to be another of your year-long hiatuses (hiati??)? Why don't you just get rid of the "blog" so I don't have to waste my time checking it everyday?
Another day, another non-entry.
Hello???? Alex????
Hello? Hello!!!!?
We're closing in on a year of no updates. Shall I give up?
