How Do You Like Me Now?

This was a chair that was in my mom's home.  How old, I don't know, but I remember her having it reupholstered every few years. 

The cushion is down and I can remember as a child reminding people to puff the cushion when they got up, much to my mother's chagrin!  Just repeating what she always told us! ;)

Last April, I decided I was going to have 2 of her chairs redone.  Yes, I found a good place to have it done, but it took me months to find the fabric.  I don't know what has happened to me, the woman who picked tile for 4 bathrooms in one afternoon!  I can't seem to make decisions quickly.

Anyway, I finally found something for all the work to be done. I got all the fabric at Duralee.

Picked up on Sat., and returned the next.  4 chairs and a sofa.  And the sofa was converted from a 2 cushion to 3, and a tight back from loose cushions.

Pretty good in a week!

I was informed it was called a FAN chair. It is in my living room.

Of the four pieces I had done, I like how this came out the best.

 

I think she would like it.  :)

These are the 2 fabrics I picked for the den.  But that is for another day!

And I know, it is more expensive to have furn reupholstered, but the quality is better than is what's out there.  I looked!   We didn't want leather, and I couldn't find anything of good quality unless I remortgaged the house!  :)
