Well, here they are, the chairs I promised pictures of whenever I got them finished. I am quite pleased with the results and the pair of them now sit happily in our little library.
I had new leather straps made.
I bought webbing for the seat.
And I ended up having them upholstered in a blue-grey men's suiting fabric.
Great job Meg. These remind me of the furniture that Grandpa and I had when we first got married. Just remember that if you keep “anything” (including clothing) for 20 years or more it will cycle around and again be an “in” thing.
Oh wow! those look awesome! I love the deep tufting with the buttons!
Beautiful job, Meghan! And I like your new little library room.
I’m still just in love with how you rearranged your house. And I love the chairs too!
Meghan, where did you get the pads made at? I have a chair almost exactly like this that is on my ‘to-do’ list to redo before the baby comes. The pads are horrible and need to be replaced…wondering if you had a good place I could check out online…
