Then come on back here and see the after photos. They are even prettier than I pictured they would be.
Here we go with the photos!!!
Above is chair #1. There are 3 chairs and chair #1 is a regular standing there with it's 4 legs kind of chair. It has the needlepoint on the front of the back with the new edging stuff that I found out is called "gimp" and then the nutmeg color velvet on the seat and the back of the back. I am so in love with the way these turned out I can hardly stand it.
This is chair #2 which is almost identical to #1 except it sits on a base with a rocker spring and is a rocking chair. It has the matching needlepoint to #1 as well. Love this chair!!
This big beautiful chair is #3 and it is essentially a chair-and-a-half or a settee. This is the first time I have seen it with the springs tied down. They had become untied over the years and talk about bouncy! Just sitting on it was like taking a roller coaster ride! This settee is just spectacular now.
This little guy is the one and only foot stool that came to me with the set. I don't know if that is the way they were sold originally or how it is the only one to survive with the chairs. It is topped with the fourth and final needlepoint that I was given by my Nana. It fit perfectly. And can I just say how lovely my rug looks in that photo?
Another shot of #1
And some close up views of the needlepoint and the velvet on the settee.
So, please go check out the before photos and now the afters and let me know what you think. I am beyond thrilled with them.
Now my only issue will be which of my children will get to inherit them. Because I am not breaking up the set. No way, no how. They deserve to stay together.
And stay tuned for my dining chairs to be reupholstered! The fabric is ordered and due in any time now. I will post some before photos of them as well. How on earth that current fabric got so stained is beyond me.
Thanks for reading! Hope you all have a happy and restful Thanksgiving!
