A couple of years ago I drove past this little lady sitting by the side of the road. Needless to say I pulled over and went to check her out. Frankly, she was a bit threadbare and past her best, but with a fab bone structure and a little note explaining that said chair was destined for the tip unless a new home was found... well what more encouragement did I need? I somehow managed to bundle the chair, and the chest of drawers beside her, into the back of my car and home we all went!
I've since found a fab evening class teaching traditional upholstery. So for the past 18 months my chair and I meet up for a couple of hours a week to work on her looks.
It's becoming a real labour of love, but deeply satisfying. Fingers crossed that the chair will be all set to return home by the summer!
