Work in Progress
Yet another work in progress... this time from a charity shop in Coventry and I think it will be worth the fact that myself and a lovely friend had to carry it across the town centre to get back to the car - with no offer of help! Still, once it is finished I will be very happy...photographs to follow soon.
New Find
Another find ... this time from an auction house. Luckily it doesn't seem to have too much damage to the wood, and all the castors are in working order. I will treat the wood and perhaps change the colour. I can seem to decide on whether to recover it with a modern fabric or find a vintage print that would suit a children's room (something like that anyway). Eventually I will make a decision, but for now, I am on a fabric hunt!

New Find
This is my latest find, a balloon back chair. I have also come across some lovely tartan Laura Ashley fabric in red and muted gold tones. I cannot wait to get started on this project, lots of work to be done, including correction to the woodwork and complete re-stain and varnish - then the fun begins with the upholstery ... watch this space!
Week One: drop in seat
Week One: Drop in Seat
Drop in seat, upholstered with jute webbing, 12 oz hessian, mixed animal hair, skin wadding, calico, and a flower print fabric.
