2015 Chair Affair
I'm transforming another chair for the annual Community Warehouse table &CHAIR AFFAIR fundraiser. Below is a glimpse of the progress.The chair itself is in such great condition, the frame is solid as well as the seat base, it's just missing fabric.
I'm really hesitant to paint over the beautiful finish on this chair, I grew up visiting very similar chairs in my grandmothers house in Michigan, which is what drew me to select this chair in the first place.
I'll work at restoring the wood finish first, as it seemed to be saying "make me pretty again!"
| Here's the "Before" Chair |  |  |
 | There were ALOT of upholstery nails holding the old fabric |  |
 | I was curious about the Charlotte Chair Company, so did a quick internet search and found this pdf, put together by the Charlotte Community Library. | |
| Detail of the back, what is that fruit? |  |  |
 | With a little restorative wood polish the wood polished up very nicely! so I'm keeping it the way it is! Well, almost... | |
 | L Leaves are green and a little creative license with the fruit |  |
| Time to make the seat comfy |  | |
 | Okay, now I know why there were upholstery nails. I tried a staple gun and the staples wouldn't go into the wood... so upholstery nails it is! | |
