I forgot to post a chair!
Back in February (and March…and April…) I did a lot of traveling thanks to some cheap airline tickets. It was great, but the downside is that I did not have any time to post about my finished upholstery.
This is a channel back barrel chair that I reupholstered in fabric from Pottery Barn called French Stripe. It was a very interesting choice by the client and we’re both really pleased with the results.
As you can see, the fabric wasn’t the only change to this chair. I added fabric on the front of the arms to cover the painted wood. Also, I added a long skirt, making it almost look like a slipcover.
The chair has two pleats on the front, as well as two pleats in the back to allow for the curved legs.
Matching the stripes on the inside back and seat was a bit of a challenge. At least it was a little easier since the cushion was attached, not loose like many armchairs.

It is a good fishing in troubled waters.
