Bedazzle...

So this is a long time coming. I finally finished a project that I, no joke, have been working on for almost a year. I first mentioned it here where my handsome puppy looked cute while working on it. Then again here when we first got our jigsaw to work on it, and lastly when I bought the fabric for it here. :)

This was a chair my Dad gave me that belonged to my Great Grandmother. We think it dates back to the 20's. It was in rough shape when we first got it but I thought it was a beautiful frame.

I put a lot of work into this. I did everything myself (with Ross' help of course :) but the cushion, which I had done at a re-upholsterer. I just picked it up yesterday.

Here's a quick summary of what was done.

Took all the fabric off and stripped it.

Re-stained it with Poly.

Made the bottom, used spray adhesive to put fabric on it, then nailed and glued it to the chair.

Used nail head to create a weave for the top of the chair.

And the only thing I had done was the cushion. I really didn't want to ruin the fabric and it just intimidated me. Maybe next time. I wish it was a bit more curved then boxy but I still love the result. :)

It goes perfect with our living room decor...

Next thing up - a few gallery walls :)
