My Nephew’s Chair

For my nephew's birthday my sister and I got him a chair for his bedroom.  JW is a cutie but while growing up his room was a disaster.  I remember more than once going to help my sister clean his room.  JW did not like me coming to clean it because he knew it meant some of his "treasured possessions" (tons of papers, broken toys, etc.)  would soon be in the trash.  Well that cute boy has grown up to be a man.  I do not know how clean he keeps his room these days, but know he likes what looks good on him and around him. 

I found him a free chair that was headed for the dump thanks to a dear friend TW.  This is what it looked like after I removed the attached back cushion:

But JW wanted a black chair.  So his Titi went to work and soon the chair looked like this.

Not bad for a free chair.  Happy Birthday JW!!!!

1Old Chair +3 Movies + 2 Friends + Good Food and 11

 Hours = New Chair

This past Saturday BD came over and we got to work on her hand-me-down swivel rocker.  This is what it looked like with the new cushion.  I forgot to take a before picture, sorry.

We were not sure what to do about the attached cushion but decided to make it a part of the chair.  We detached it, gutted it and put it back together.

 

 

Three movies (The Prince and Me, Wedding Date, and While You Were Sleeping) later this is what the chair looks like.

After

Can't wait to finish the next one and the old couch.  Yes, BD has 3 chairs and a couch we are working on.  And yes, we were able to slipcover this chair in one day.  I could not have done it without BD's help.  This was too much fun.
