Maybe I have a little chair affliction
But
I found some more fabric
and a wayward chair, that happens to have been begging for a revamp
and little does the foyer know...but it is getting on the revamp train too! Shhh.
Meet Mini Butt
Actually in our casa we call it the papa B chair.
It was one of the first things I ever dragged home from the salvation army maybe 20 years ago
My Dad carefully and meticulously
removed the layers of black and gray paint so hip so now
on the hand carved legs...and so they will stay.
It has worn many “clothes” through the years.
But for it’s new facelift…I found some sturdy cotton/linen
Similar to the big butt chair. It was a dream to work with!
I’ll use the leftover nailheads from the last chair project
I have some fun suzani{ish} fabric to make a bolster pillow out of.
Ta-da
see you on the other side…
hopefully.

ooooooh fantastic chair...looks like fun!!!! xo
OOOooo scrumptious! I am likin' little butt. May we shorten him to
Lil'butt? **kisses** Deb
lil'butt it is Deb!! Altho more of a midi butt...ample. but not over ample.
Linda, you're so hilarious. Affliction? How about Addiction? I'm glad to see that Chair B has such great bones...this'll be a much simpler project than the BIG BUTT!
You are so inspiring me to get busy on a couple of my chairs. Yours is going to look just beautiful! X Trina
Best of luck. This may be easier than big butt but it is still tougher than my recent chair makeover post. Can't wait to see the finished product!
Love that chair and the fabric! You're brave. I always want to recover but don't have it in me. Maybe I'll take a class.
Can't wait to see how it turns out, such a beautiful chair!
I have chair envy! love the suzanni fabric Linda!

You are amazing, I would never try that. It's hard to upholster.
I am sure it will make a big change.
I'll be coming back to see the finished product.. Good Luck..

What a beautiful chair! I spent time at a huge fabric store in NC and I get so excited about all the beautiful fabric...especially the heavy fabric! I've never done a chair...but I may someday! ♥
very cute!!! can't wait to see how it looks finishes... have a great week!
I have never attempted anything like this. Do tell.
can't wait to see it! So where do you shop for fabrics?
Karen...Usually the fabrics seem to find me. Like, they have been in the linen closet for years just waiting for the perfect project. In this case I went searching for a hardy linen/cotton blend. Much like I used for the last chair. The Suzani just begged me and that was all she wrote. I have no doubt she wanted a bigger part...but she is relegated to a bolster pillow (or two or three...but don't tell the diva that!)
Both found at my local Calico Corners.
It REALLY is easier than it seems guys...I'll try to show you how easy. Starting tonight. I'll take pics. You'll see.
Well you know I like me some big butt chairs~ I have a 'hand-me-up' from one of my sons, chair and ottoman,,,,I want to tackle it but I'm sceered!
xx
Like there's any doubt this will be Triumph #2?!
Gorgeous fabric.
I have some cool fabric for my settee project, you know...the one that's been on the list for 6 years? I'm living vicariously at this point, so get going pls thx.
I love that the chairs have names!!
Linda, I'm afflicted...uh....addicted to chairs too. How many is too many? That fabric is very cool, and I can't wait to the the Big butt all dressed up. What fun!
Oh, this looks very very interesting...I can't wait to see what you do. Beautiful chair! Janell
Linda, this I am not going to want to miss! (I will be hanging on your door step every morning...). Now, that Suzani fabric, did you get it recently from CC? LOOOVE it!

Why, oh why, can't I ever find chairs like that at my salvation army??? The legs on that sucker are gorgeous. Can't wait to see more pictures!
I'm jumping up and down clapping my hands (all the while squeeling!) cuz I LURVE it! Love that your Dad made the wood so purdy and love that you will put your latest spin on it. That fabric is awesomely YOU. Can't wait. :)
OK...I went back and read again. I thought you were using the bolster fabric on the chair. I see you are using the linen.
I think you know how I feel about linen. :) ****

you have a terrific eye to have picked that up so long ago.

I thought I liked the name Big Butt but I think I like Mini Butt even better! I'm dying to see how this one is going to turn out. It'll be fabulous, I'm sure!
I think I see a calling in your near future- a chair designer! I love this chair!!xo
Linda, how fabulous, I love the suzani fabric!
