This was Kaths 1st week on the course. Having never done upholstery before Kath just brought with her two small stools....she had finished the 1st stool by Tuesday morning.....so I gave her a rather broken down dining chair that needed completely restoring.......above are the finished projects with in between photos. Kath pinched some lovely Vintage French Barkcloth fabric from Kathy & we teamed it with a lovely acid yellow piece of vintage velvet ribbon & used Farrow & Ball paint on the frame. For the stool Kath used Busby 100% Linen in Natural plus lovely turquoise beads.....
Hitish brought two chairs for restoration...One was a lovel ebonised wooden small chair which was upholstered using Busby Natural Linen from the Brio range & deep buttoned using "snowflake" diamante buttons....The other chair , a 1920's oak chair was restored using two fabrics bought from ebay.....origins " not known"
Kathys unusual corner chair was acquired from a junk shop in Wells minus a seat, originally it had been a rush seat...but Kathy has restored with a stuff over seat using traditional methods & has used a vintage french fabric circa 1970's....
