My Before & After Comfy Chair

Thank you for stopping in today for a visit. I am sharing with you today one of my newly recovered comfy chairs.
While on a weekend trip to South Dakota I found some wonderful fabrics at Hobby Lobby and decided to recovered two of our vintage chairs. I thought I would have the cushions covered in a Toile fabric on one side and a matching fabric on the other side of the seat for a different look.
I fell in love with the Toile..and I am hoping there will be fabric left so I can recover two vintage foot stools as well to match.
This is the chair before..
Our other chair is a little smaller but a similar style so I am hoping they will look great together. I will share photos of the pair once the smaller chair is finished.
Have a great weekend!

Hugs,
Wanda

    WoW!! Those chairs are gorgeous and I like your choice of fabrics!
    You got 2 chairs for the price of one with being able to flip the seat since their are different fabric on each side.
    What a great transformation!!

    Hugs,
    Debbie

    I love how they turned out! Great idea to have toile on one side for a different look. I have a chair somewhat similar in style that I want to get recovered soon.

    Enjoy your weekend,
    Carolyn
