Chair Redesign

Another chair restored from junk, this I found sitting in a store here in Duluth. I picked her up one afternoon tucked her in my wagon and brought her home. The hunt for the right fabric began. I wanted something simple but yet made a statement. I named this one 'Gypsy' for her simplicity from the crisp white cotton fabric and carefree dandelions ready to take over your living room.

    I lived in Indonesia for six years. I should have recognized ikat, but I didn't. Brings back memories.

    Ikat is also local to a town in my city,in India. I love the print so much but of course the Ikat for the market here is much more Americanized!

    Really nice, Yamini. Huge transformation. You obviously have an eye to spot potential. I would have never looked at those chairs (before) and seen the beauty you brought out in them simply by reupholstering.

    I need to get you to reupholster 2 chairs I have in our warehouse! Nicely done - they are highbacks just like these! Love the bold red printed chairs.

    Bold and Sublte...to me they are both a bit on the bold side...the red one in an extreme way...I guess my perception of subtle would be "ultra" subtle...either way they are both a far shot better than that flower print.

    Well done again

    Bring it on Atlanta Vacant Homes. Send me some pics of the chairs you have I'd love to work on them. I can help you with fabric selection after I look at the form and listen to your likes and dislikes.

    Nice!!! Do you do the re-upholstery yourself? Bought 2 chairs from Hotel Liq. and wanted to re-cover them but my first bids were $250 ea. plus 4yds.fab.(that place in Norcross).The avacado color isn't bad but really wanted burlap ur other neutral.

    How hard is it to reupholster chairs such as this? We bought one a few years back and I really would love to give it some new life but I have never attempted to recover anything more complicated than a rectangular cushion and back for our lawn swing...

    When I was in my 20's, I reupholstered two chairs. I bought cheap fabric because I never reuhholstered before and thought they might not turn out. They turned out great but wore out right away with 5 kids. But even then, it took so much strength to pull the fabric tight so it would look professional. I did not have an electric stapler then either so make it extra difficult. I have not reupholstered anything since except a chair seat. I have to hand it to you..........this is hard work and ...»
    worth every penny you earn from it! They are all gorgeous!

    Very nice re-dos. I like the 2 graphic prints better than the "words" chair but am very impressed with your style all the way around.

    Gorgeous Job Yamini! I certainly appreciate the work involved as I just finished a cane back barrel chair which was my step #2 after just plain chair seats! Have you taken any upholstery lessons before tackling this degree of difficulty?
