Modern Striped Chair- And So It Begins


While family was here this week I had the chance to peruse some of my favorite design books. I also stopped by Joann Fabrics and picked up some pretty fabric for my chair. Full of newly found inspiration and motivation, I dove in.


I started with the seat. Since only the front will show I grabbed some extra white fabric so I wouldn't waste my pretty fabric on a spot that won't show. 


Put it in place


tuck, tuck, tuck, staple, staple, staple.


Well, it's a start. 


Slow and steady on this one I think.

    Did you take some upholstery classes to get started? Your chairs always look gorgeous!

    The fabric is truly fabulous. It seems so you. Where will you put the chair?

    Have you ever had to replace the padding and cushion before? I was given a wing back chair that I want/NEED to reupholster, but it will need all new everything. It smells musty.

    As usual, this one is coming along nicely! Can't wait to see the results!

    I love your fabric! I, too, find more time to enjoy reading and fabric shopping when my MIL comes to visit :) Grandparents are great!

    It's a great start! I'm in the process of taking off all the old fabric on a pair of wingbacks myself right now so I totally get the slow and steady! It's a process for sure but always well worth it! Can't wait to see how it turns out =) Would love to have you link to my party this weekend too! http://designergarden.blogspot.com/2011/07/vip-party-21.html
