sewing chair

Debra gave me this chair which she liked, but wasn't using. It has storage in the seat; I use it for sewing supplies. 


But it isn't very pretty, is it?  The wood was kind of a pecan color, so to match it with my other bedroom furniture I took some paint we'd used in the kitchen and covered it over. One little touchup when the weather is drier, and  then to figure out a cover for it - it's upholstered with some vinyl-y stuff in a Colonial pattern of American eagles and the Liberty bell.  Really. Still, it's sturdy and I love the storage. Thank you, Debra!

  1. Well, if it was not vinyl-y, it'd be quite lovely... but vinyl-y is not good.
    But definitely a useful chair otherwise!

    1. Dolly insisted on sleeping on it last night - she eschewed the padded chair, which she usually
      prefers. Maybe the vinyl felt cooler on a hot day? (or maybe she just wanted to do something different!)

  3. It already looks updated with the painted legs! I'll be interested to see how you transform it - it really IS a cute chair.
