While ripping off the old upholstery, I noticed the center is cut out. Probably lends to the "potty chair" feeling. It's weird. We don't really sit in these that much, mainly just pull them in for extra seating. xox, EmilyElevenGableshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16689814433811725500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1844610358986715331.post-53030731523258795202015-02-23T20:15:48.189-06:002015-02-23T20:15:48.189-06:00Ha, I too am guilty of hoarding chairs, pillows, y...Ha, I too am guilty of hoarding chairs, pillows, you name it.

I just re-glued 3 chairs (for my son), but I've have separation anxiety, and now I'm on to an all "old" new cane chair, that needs lots of work... that's not counting the two I brought home and the other two still waiting to be picked up.

Funny chair story, I we...Thank you for the link. <br /><br />Funny chair story, I went to a favorite thrift store two weeks ago and saw these solid mahogany chippendale dining chairs. They'd been donated by an atty office closing in Atlanta. I think they had twenty donated. I texted my mom the pics and manufacturer tag. Council craftsman. Very high end and expensive. She went and got four and is now going back for more. They are 40.00 each. Crazytown. <br />I'm thinking, do I need any?? <br />BetsyBetsy Cobb Gordonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01519972381985137330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1844610358986715331.post-39321104525212739362015-02-05T15:27:54.891-06:002015-02-05T15:27:54.891-06:00Love the chair....a paint pen is worth its weight ...Love the chair....a paint pen is worth its weight in gold.

Have you found them to be comfortable to sit in? Although they have a very nice wide seat, the center seems to sag making the frame of the seat very prominent. Kind of like sitting in an over-sized potty chair! I guess I should take them to an upholsterer to get the strapping beefed up. I love your make over of them!janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09709714721162851192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1844610358986715331.post-20264609096374535982015-02-05T13:16:25.724-06:002015-02-05T13:16:25.724-06:00Beautiful!Beautiful!Sue Nationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13113446273862473424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1844610358986715331.post-42807626017000418692015-02-05T09:40:24.663-06:002015-02-05T09:40:24.663-06:00What a great makeover.
