| Not our actual chairs, this was a borrowed Internet find. I have no idea why I didn't think to take "before" photos! |
It was time to give these chairs a face lift; actually, it was way past time. These were beautiful chairs, in their day; they are extremely well made, we found out how well when we started disassembling them! We had chosen the fabrics for recovering these a few years ago; (three to be exact, but who's counting? I had posted about this project here) we had the best of intentions going in to the project. So, all this time later (after completing chair number one and growing weary of looking at the "old" chair stuck in a corner piled high with all of the components for its face lift), we got to the task last week of moving on and getting this project pushed over the finish line.
There were SO. Many. Steps. There were, also, thousands of copper staples!
We worked together on this one chair for four days! Finally... they are done.
They're not perfect, but-- they are done. We are happy and moving on. Never, ever will we ask the question "how hard could upholstery be?"; no, because now we know. Next time we'll hire a pro.
Life is Good!
