Reupolstered Chair

As you know I finished the "memorial chair" (AKA Crying Chair) a few weeks ago with my new upholstery gun . . . SO FUN . . . and I had been asked to do another one when that was finished.  Between the wedding shower quickly approaching and taking on another bridal gown (alteration) last week I thought I'd better get that done before I get started on anything else.  It would go quickly I said . . . It will be easy I said . . .

Well not so easy when you are taking apart a chair that is bolted together with 5" bolts, nuts and washers!

Here's the before pic! Kinda ugly with its fake/faux grey velvet!

And following a pics of putting it during the process.  While you might wonder why on earth would you leave the original fabric on . . . the answer is it was in really good condition and while it may have "looked" stained it was clean . . . so I kept it on!

Removal of the faux velvet revealed its "original"
 brown/tan looped nylon

Removed the back from the seat

Arms removed

All apart now

Covered the original fabric with batting
 

And it's done - all put back together . . . even the arm that was separating from the bottom part is glued back on!

YES, SHE LOVES IT!
