What’s Old is….. Still Old, But Recovered

May 18, 2017

I have two club chairs that I bought 25 years ago and have been trying to get rid of for the last 20.  They have a scroll arm (ugh), a skirt (hate that) and the oversized, blocky furniture look of the 1980’s.

 
These chairs and the matching ottoman keep hanging around my house.  They lived in the basement for a while, were in my daughter’s room, took a spin in the guest room and are now fixtures in the family room.  When the fabric showed serious signs of wear this year, I was joyous.


Time to discard and replace!!!!


I looked at mid-century modern, contemporary, classic and traditional styles- so many choices.


Too many choices… three months went by and I could not make a decision.


I blame it on my dog.  I sat in a ton of chairs, but none of them had the little nook I needed for Rhino to squeeze in next to me.


So, UNBELIEVABLY, I am recovering these three pieces AGAIN.  This time with a few tweaks.


New feet on all three pieces.

 
NO SKIRT!


And all of the cushions will be filled with fresh down.  This is probably their last spin around the house, so I will circle back when they are done so you can see the finished product!

I have loved design ever since I painted my bedroom walls high-gloss lime green in the fourth grade. A lifelong hobby, mixing low cost items with a few pricier pieces thrown in, has become The Wry Home. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t!
