I've never liked this Edwardian chair. Someone had it re-upholstered in the early 90s in a horrid maroon draylon, Molly my old dog was the only one to use it. So I've decided to re-upholster it myself. How hard can it be?
I'm enjoying this, it's such a relief to remove the nasty fabric and even though it's very tedious removing the staples, I'm getting quite a lot of satisfaction knowing that the chair will be well prepared (that's my plan).
I can't decide whether to paint the wood on this chair, Philippa recommends that I do, to keep the room light. I think I shall leave the wood, I'm getting a bit bored with seeing painted furniture everywhere, also it will be easier to place in other rooms which are in the old part of the house. Opinions are welcome.
Apart from discovering how to actually do the upholstering, I have to choose a suitable fabric - I just have too many decisions to make at present.
I've waited almost 50 years to get a chandelier. This one looks much prettier in real life than in the photo and is perfect for the gallery room. I love it!
