An Updated Chair...

I have had this chair for quite sometime now. It actually belonged to my mom and dad way back in the day. I have always loved everything about this chair... at one time, I even loved the red velvet. However, the red no longer had a good spot to park in our new home. So, I finally gave in and had my beloved antique re-upholstered and painted. Turns out, this was a 'real deal' antique because when they went in to re-upholster, it was filled with horse hair! So yes, I probably depleted any real value to this chair, but it sure does look perfect in our bedroom :)

This is what it looked like in it's former days...



And here she is now...

WOW! She is beautiful. I can't believe they used horse hair as stuffing. Learned something today. It's always been a favorite piece of furniture of mine and of course I loved the red, so I couldn't imagine it being redone....but what a transformation! Think you could have me recovered and I'd look that good.

By the way, that little Remi is pretty special too!
