Mid 20th Century chair revamp

The £20 chair revamp is finished.



The chair frame, sanded and oiled came up a beautiful red mahogany colour.  
New webbing and foam, then covered with fire retardant calico.
Chose a bargain fabric which we thought went with the frame, and echoed the fabric that was removed, rather than a wildly modern fabric.  We are saving that for the bedroom curtains - along the theme of "The Italian Job".  

Wondering now whether to attempt to cover the (bargain £50) IKEA chair - slightly worried as the fabric I want is nearly £30 a metre, as opposed to this chair which was £4.99 a metre.  Maybe save myself the £250 I have been quoted to cover it.




Come back soon to see what I have decided to do.
