We are all back to work/school after Spring Break (if you follow on Instagram, you will have seen some of our adventures), and it is good! This project is a great example of how a little creativity can prolong the useful life of a quality piece of furniture. My client had an adorable rocker that she had used in her kids' nursery. It was custom made locally, and was a great piece that she was hoping to save for her kids to use for their own families. But she didn't want it to just hang out in storage. Here it is...
You may have noticed that this chair has legs, not rockers. My client was able to remove the rockers and replace them with pretty legs. Now this chair can go anywhere an extra seat is needed!
My client chose linen for the slipcover (I believe it was Snow Glynn Linen from Covington). She requested a gathered skirt and piping trim. And here it is...
The gathered skirt was perfect for the curvy form of the chair. It was finished with a blind hem.
Reminds me of this chair I did in dropcloth...
Because of the curves, we opted to do a zipper down the middle of the back, concealed behind a faux button placket...
The linen just seemed to need mother-of-pearl buttons :)
Now the chair has grown up and is ready for it's new place in the guest room.
