ooooohhh....aaahhhh....wow--that turned out beautiful!

I love how your chair turned out. I have an old wing backI want to redo. I just haven't gained the courage to start it. Your finished chair is very inspiring.

Incredible!!! It is the perfect fabric for the chair! ;)

Love how you matched up the leaves on arms as well as the cushion - that takes some doing, and it looks great!

I dig it, dig it, dig it! You're inspiring me to want to go find a cheapie Goodwill chair to operate on myself!

WOW! It looks totally fantastic. Your mother will be SO proud!

Wow! This chair came out great! Love how it all lines up so beautifully! Great job!

Wow, wow, wow!

You're so fancy that I can barely stand it! That looks great!!!

I have 2 chairs screaming for a re-do. I don't have the confidence to start ripping but seeing what you have done has definately started my desire and thinking going . . .

That chair is perfect. Great job!

FABULOUS! You did such a great job!
Love that fabric!

I called that one :) Just saw this over at design sponge!

I'm so impressed! This looks fabulous.

Awesome!!! Your mother must be very proud!!! Seems the talent runs in the family!

With friendship,
Lisa

Looks great!!

amazing! you work wonders with that sewing machine of yours!

L O V E the chair and the fabric is beautiful! :-)

That is just amazing! My mom was an upholstery whiz too, and I do think it rubs off. My projects are getting better, but not like yours...yet!

I. Love. This. Chair.

Wonderful! Thanks for the great write-up.

Love this chair. Wow, chair looks fantastic!
Thanks for sharing!:)

It looks fabulous.

But I do have a complaint. With your perfect execution and calm breakdown of steps, you make it look easy! I'm fifteen minutes into reupholstering a couch for the first time and I just stabbed my thumb with the dang screwdriver. I'm currently trying to staunch the blood.

I'm in awe!

Ummm... yeah, I may have left out the bloody gory part of the process. Be careful with the staple gun too. But send me a picture! (Of the couch, not your thumb.)

Yeah, the picture of the couch is going to be a while coming. Unless you wanted the before picture...

The thumb, though, I could do that picture ASAP!
