The next chair to be resurrected from "nannerish ugly" to fresh, bold and beautiful :-)
The dusky pink fabric and smelly wadding and foam is gone, and after a few hours of sanding so has that dark stain. Yes it took a bit of elbow grease and sweat to get rid of that dark stain but now its finally ready for a fresh coat of paint.
These fabrics arrived right on Christmas eve so it felt like an early Christmas present for me. Purchased here at Hawthorne Threads which I can thoroughly recommend. The next step is to decide on the right fabric combination and a coordinating paint colour. Decisions, decisions.... any input would be greatly welcomed :-)

We had a lounge suite in this style when I was young. Pretty fabrics to choose from - I like the bottom photo no.4 on very RHS. Would you do a patchwork cover and perhaps white wash the woodwork?
Happy New Year to you Catherine.
Looks comfy! Can't wait to see it all prettified.
That will be gorgeous!
We had a chair just like that as well when I was very young (aged 0-4, I remember it well! I thought it was a 'magic' chair as when some money fell into it on the sides, it didn't come out the bottom on the floor! Little did I know at that age about those chairs having bottoms in them :-)
I love the colours you chose together, can't wait to see the result. Shame I don't live nearer or I would ask you to reserve it for me!!
Happy New Year! xxxx
hmmm such lovely fabrics, could you use all of them! I mean, literally have a nine patch on the cushions or use a different fabric on the front, sides and back? Otherwise I like the tone on tone aqua with floral pattern!
I am thinking this is going to look so fab-u-lous! I just adore those fabrics.
