The COLOR you chose just brings that chair back to life~~~ and, in the most ROMANNNNTIC, soft way!!! KUDOS, kiddo~~~ It looks just mahhhhhvelous in what appears to be an ALREADY MAHHHHVELOUS space~~~ (would LOVE to see more pics, & of course a follow up on the OTHER chair when it's completed!)~~~ "Hint, hint"!<br /><br />Came by to tell you THANKS FOR THE WONDERFUL LAUGH I got out of your comment at Joni's just now, about the people in Marrakech selling/trading their DAUGHTER for a camel!!! I laughed & smiled SOOOOO much, as WE lived in Saudi Arabia for two years~~~someone in the Royal Family honored us, as their "Special Guests", w/ an incredible, tented, desert dinner (& w/ fabulous rugs placed everywhere). (Better than in the MOVIES! Grins!). I was "honored" w/ a "gift" of a camel (a REAL ONE!~ and I mean this camel was CHICLY DRESSED, w/ silks & beadworks & you-name-its!). "Alas" I could not keep it or take it back to America (of course they already knew that), but I thought it WAS a charming gesture on their part & it was quite a fun, interesting, informative evening!!!<br /><br />Again, beauuuutifully done chair, & THANKS for the biiiig chuckles w/ your Marrakech comment!<br /><br />Warmest wishes,<br />Linda in AZ *<br />bellesmom1234@comcast.netLinda in AZ *https://www.blogger.com/profile/02300293275066986999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25102529.post-5060613147272897432010-01-11T14:06:24.787-07:002010-01-11T14:06:24.787-07:00YUM, YUM and YUUUUM!!

I have two very similar chairs, (they swivel and rock!) currently upholstered in a turquoise\teal on cream plaid and living at my daughter's house (and likely to remain hers). If college life doesn't do them in, I'll use this post for reference when she decides to reupholster them. They're great little chairs and a velvet like yours would really bring them back to life. Don't you just love the quality of older furniture? To get that quality new costs a small fortune—as you discovered.
