Sad to Sweet, Lucky Me

I rescued this sad little chair last week.  How could I not?  Can't you see how sweet it could be?




Well I did.  And now this sweet little chair sits at my desk waiting for me to get back to work.  I chose a soft green wool (Goodwill fabric) for the seat and a leftover quilting cotton for the accent (which I Armoralled the Bee Gees* out of).  I don't know how long the black and white fabric will last in our house, but I've kept the very simple pattern I used to upholster it and will just re-do in the future should I need to.

Are you a nurse or interior designer? Or maybe both? Texting Meg now.

Liz said...

Not a nurse. Just a friend of the nurse...several of the ones you work with really (Meg, Malia, Gina, the list goes on) And not a designer by any stretch, I just know a good thing when I see it. :)

Hey Liz, do you know of the blog "Little green Notebook"? (there is a link on my site)...I think she might be a kindred spirit :)

Oh and the chair looks great!!

Thanks Emelie - I'll have a look!

You blow my freakin' mind! In my next life...you're in my top 5.

Oooh, I like the direction you went in with the fabric! I caught Mike looking at your blog last night and he said the chair was, "cool".
