    AH! this is amazing. i just found a chair on the side of the road and i thought i would get someone to redo it for me but now i see this and it looks pretty easy (hopfully). i was wondering if you could give any tips on button tufting and nail head? THANKS! -Stacy

    So did you replace any of the cushioning underneath? How do you "tighten" or replace springs or is this something that needs to be done by a professional? I have built decks, tiled rooms, and hung sheetrock. Surely I can do this I hope.

    The floral design is just lovely. This chair would be great for the living room or the veranda set.
