Reupholstering my old chair

Since everyone is trying to renew, reuse and renovate - here's my contribution! This chair was left in the cottage we purchased a few years ago and I resisted my husband's suggestion to throw it out. I loved the lines of it and figured I could somehow renew it. I found out from an antiques expert that the chair is from the 1920's, the upholstery was sitting on top of the chair and the filling was straw!

Well - skip ahead to many years later and I finally got it finished. I spent a good deal of time searching for the "perfect" fabric and finally found it at Rockland Textiles. I then painted the frame black and had it professionally reupholstered. I love it and my husband can't believe it is the same chair. So now it has a new life in my family room!

I believe that every space can be comfortable, warm, elegant and beautiful. I would love to help you achieve your beautiful space – email me at lisa@lisagouletdesign.com or if in the Ottawa area call me at 613-762-0818.
