The Old Red Chair.....

We finally did it! I sent the "Old red chair" to the upholstery shop! I have had that chair in the garage for over 10 years! I am not kidding! I picked it up at a garage sale for $20. I really loved it! Hey, the red crushed velvet wasn't to bad either. But the whole inside of the chair was broken. Every spring had to be hand tied. Of course...I had to do it kinda "funky" and My husband wanted some leather on it. So, here is our combination, I guess "Better late than never" is appropriate here! As usual, I forgot to take the before picture, but I had this old one in my files. I think I was doing something with the pillows on it? The lady did a wonderful job and it is so comfy! Well, gotta get back to "Christmas"! I am working on a special order for someone...

That totally changed the looks of that chair. It has a very masculine and earthy new look and from the big vase in the background I can tell that it goes perfect with your decor. It looks like the perfect spot to curl up with a good book :)
Great job!
