More Chairs?

I was in a second hand store a couple of months ago with Jessica. I spotted these folding chairs and really liked them. They weren't too old but they had some personality. 

I didn't get them. 

I couldn't stop thinking that I'd made a mistake. 

I needed a small chair for You Know Who's office. One that a I could sit in but wouldn't take up too much space.

I thought the folding chair would work even though the seat was ugly. 

 They were supposed to be marked down at one month. I decided that if they were still there, then it was meant to be. 

They were there, I got them a bit cheaper,  and I still had some yummy leather left from my dining chairs makeover.

 I got them just in time. The chair I had been using in my sewing room had to be thrown out. 

These are very versatile. I love the way they look in our work spaces and in our living spaces when we have company. So far we haven't needed to store them but if we do, the folding option is nice!

Long Overdue

I bought this chair a long, long, long, long time ago. Ugly gold fabric a broken spring but the "bones" were good. I asked Jessica to send me a couple of things, among the things was some beautiful silk dupioni she bought in the LA fabric district, then I realized I needed a couple more things, then I lost momentum.

Do not look at the wonky springs and strapping, It's all wrong but it's what I had. 

Fast forward six years to last week..... Jessica un-buried the chair and demanded I finish it. She got me started again and after she left, I managed to finish! I even remembered that I love doing stuff like this. I made some mistakes and learned some new things. I will use this at my desk, a desk that I should show you one day. 

 I kinda love it a lot.

Next on the agenda, Jess has researched how to eight-way hand tie and I have this couch....
