Asian Toile Chair Makeover






Last month I finished a really stunning desk chair. This chair is a great example of why I love to upholster old chairs... the transformation is dramatic. The chair was found in a free pile on the side of the road. My friend Lori saw it and picked it up for me, knowing it was a jem in the making. The seat was sagging and the fabric worn and dirty. I tore the chair down to the frame and then built it back from there. I finally got to use a asian toile fabric that was given to me as a gift about 2 years ago. I knew the perfect project would eventually come around. Below are the before and after.
