Well it's been six months so it's time for my 6 month post. Just kidding. SO I don't blog much lately. I barely shower as it is so really I don't have much time for blogging but I thought this chair was blog worthy. Blog worthy because this was something that I have never done before, well, I guess I should say, I've never completed something like this before.
I found this great chair at GW. My favorite store. It was not a simple chair. But I wanted the challenge. Bring. It. On. I said to myself. My husband thought I was crazy. Probably because I have a chair sitting in my craft room that is half done..(hence the never completed comment above)...and it's been in that condition for over a year. So he laughed when I showed him this one. Not because he doesn't think I'm capable but because he knows I try to do 100 things at once and usually they only get half done, like the first chair. So here is the before:
As you can see, it have ALOT going on. Not just your plain Jane wingback. That's what I liked about it. Challenge me! So after a full day of deconstructing it, taking 100 pictures and a page worth of notes, I got to work. See that cording along the top of the wing back? Yeah, I attempted that with my brave sewing machine...did I mention that I don't sew? Yeah, not so much. Well I spent TWO days trying to do that part and I can tell you that I ALMOST had it. Chair : 1 McKelle:0 Chair was winning. Husband may have been right. I went to bed that second night nearly defeated but I had a come back when the thought entered my mind that,"Just because it came that way, doesn't mean it has to end up like that! I could do nail head. Yes, it will be done...tomorrow....game on!" (And yes, that's how I think.) So I spent the next day, and the next and the next in a heated battle with this chair and a guess what? I WON! Here is the after:
I LOVE IT!
Sassy Behind~
LOVe, Love, LoOVE, Lurve!
XOXOXO
Did I mention that I love it. :)
McKelle xoxo

ReplyDeleteThanks CJ! Yes, I did take all the leather off. It took me a full day just to do that.....also because I have 3 little kids and a husband to take care of but still, took me a while! Thanks for your comment!

ReplyDeleteNice job! I have tackled upholstery jobs (thanks to a great teacher at a local community college) and the trick to doing welting is to get a welting foot for your sewing machine. Otherwise it's just impossible to get it done right. Now you can tackle the unfinished chair! Debra @ www.rusticlodgestyle.com
ReplyDeleteAmazing! Awesome job!
