Spa Inspired Upholstered Parsons Chair

I work as a "creative consultant" for my salon/spa. It sounds fancy - because I totally made up the title for myself - but really just means I get to make cool stuff for their customers and for the salon space. This chair is one of those pieces.
Several months ago they asked me to reupholster this chair from their lobby. I don't know anything about upholstery so of course I said, "yes, I can do that."
Gorgeous, right? Can you believe one of the owners created it using upcycled fence pieces from her back yard? I can't get over how much color and texture it adds.
TIP Take tons and tons of photos BEFORE YOU START AND EVERY SINGLE STEP ALONG THE WAY. I cannot emphasize this enough. You're getting ready to completely disassemble this piece of furniture and without photos you'll have no idea how to put it back together. The pics don't have to make sense to anyone else but you. Just take a lot. Then take more.
To read more tips, my trial and error methods, and the finished product in the new spa, check out the blog post at http://www.laughingabi.com/spa-inspired-upholstered-parsons-chair/
