April

A project that I have been working on for the past 3 years. This is a fireside chair, finished in worn beige paint, with cream canvas upholstery.

Originally this was a mess, with previous restoration and recovering attempts creating more problems by previous owners. So when I was presented with this chair by my sister, I tried to avoid wasting time on reupholstering it. But now, after stripping the chair back to the frame, I rebuilt it and used new feature foam instead of the spring base and full foamed back. The canvas gives the chair an informal nature and has feature stitching to match the leather lounge suite that it sits next to.
