It is the very first Metamorphosis Monday hosted by Susan atBetween Naps on the Porch. I have chosen a recent project of my husbands to share today. I've mentioned before that Bob loves to find a box of wooden parts at an auction for a dollar or two. Then, he sorts them to figure out just what he has. This chair came in pieces in one of those boxes. Once he had it laid out, there were only a couple of rungs missing. Sorry, I don't have a picture of all of the pieces; but this is what it looked like all assembled and still unfinished with the new rungs he made.
Early 20th century pressed-back chairs have always been a favorite of mine.
Here it is finished with its new seat.
I'm using the chair at my desk, so I had to make a cushion for comfort!!
Thanks for stopping by, now go and visit Susan for more wonderful makeovers.Sally
WOW...beautiful chair! I love it...
ReplyDeleteFabulous transformation! I am not at all clever or handy but do admire these traits in others.

Hi Sally, your husband does such beautiful work, did he also refinish that great desk that's in the background?
