My MIL gave us her grandmother's (so DH's great-grandmother's) chair a few years ago. The fabric and caning and springs were all in pretty bad shape, but the wood is beautiful. As a Christmas/birthday gift to myself (haha) I took it in to be repaired and reupholstered.

I'm so pleased with it!! It's so pretty. It previously had a very dark burgundy fabric, and I am amazed at how the lighter, more neutral color brings out the richness in the wood.

(Please excuse the too-long curtain there; I am shortening them this weekend!)

That is a beautiful chair.

In the interest of curiosity - it looks like there are a couple nailheads missing on the right front cushion (right side in the photo)? Is that just a trick of the light/camera or are those actually missing?

They are missing. I asked her to keep all the original nails and spacing possible. It would have ben easier to forgo the nails, but I wanted to keep it as authentic as I could

Ahhhhh! That makes sense. I was all "Derp? I hope she knows about this!" LOL

For the record, it's gorgeous. You can send it to me any time.
