This guy has been sitting in the barn, just waiting for some attention. It actually sat in our garage at the old house for about 7 years!
In fact, here's a photo of it in the barn --->
(along with several friends!)
I love the carving on the chair back, but I needed to replace the material, and glue the bottom rungs back together, and somehow never got around to it- until now!
One of my favorite parts is taking the seat off, and seeing the past lives of upholstery.

| The top striped fabric was faded & dirty |

| Second layer was this tapestry material |
While the top was off, I took some wood glue and secured the rungs.
There was also a crack on the corner (I think it fell during the move!) that I needed to secure.We used a screw on the inside, so it shouldn't be noticeable. --->
Here we are all cleaned up and waiting for the seat.
This is the material I found- on sale for $3.00/yard!
It's tan & sage green, which will go perfectly when this becomes the formal living room.
Here's the completed project:
I think I'm going to pair this chair with my desk, since I currently don't have a chair for it.
I love when things (finally) come together!
