In August, the chair looked like this:
I had a notion of recovering it in this fabric, so I did some pretty laughable photoshop renderings of my vision for the corner.
However, after the acquisition of that shag rug, and 30 days (I kid you not, I started ripping into this on New Year's day and finished in the nick of time on January 30, mere days prior to my February 8 book club hosting duties) of backbreaking labor later, and the relocation of a table I already had that was somewhat homeless.....I had this:
Hooray! I'm so happy with how it turned out! It SURE isn't perfect, many mistakes were made, but I think it's a heck of a result for my very first time upholstering anything more complex than a simple seat that you staple over some batting.
Now for more pictures!
that looks fabulous. i'd love to try that sometime. tutorial??

Oh my gosh! This is seriously amazing! Sorry I missed it. I would love to see a tutorial, but I can already tell you I'm too much of a chicken to even trying upholstering. Too intimidating.
