Hello friends. I have been away too long. About a month ago I travelled to Atlanta on business and the day I got back I woke up with THE worst migraine I’ve ever had. For 3 weeks I battled some pretty terrible headaches. I have missed all of you!
I posted a picture of these chairs a while back. Here’s what they looked like when I got them off someone on Kijiji.
“Lovely” salmon coloured velvent Queen Anne chairs.
For the button tufting, I just recovered the existing fabric buttons. This was surprisingly easy to do! Here’s one finished:
When I had all the original fabric off, I taped off parts of the chair and restained the wood.
The back covering is handsewn just as it was originally.
I made some pillows from left over fabric. These will go on the sofa once I’ve recovered it. For the buttons, I had some fabric buttons from a dress I wore to my college graduation! I simply spray painted them gold.
Mr. Restyle and I are working on a lot of things so there are a lot of posts coming. I’ve also done a lot of shopping and will have plenty of thrifted fall and winter looks along with some sewing projects.
That chair came out great. I like rhe gray color much better but honestly not feeling the gold button.
