Uncovering and Redoing The Past

The original chair was the yellow plastic Early American design, purchased 30+ years ago for $5 at a thrift store. The first recover was the brown print, then the blue quilted material. It has been enjoyed by daughter, Mary Ann, Cats: Sydney, Lovey, Simon, Stewart and Bob, 6 grandchildren, and granddog, Lola. This is the youngest granddaughter relaxing in the latest renovation to jade corduroy this Christmas.

  1. Beautifully done. I do admire that sort of skill. Wish I had it. And what a great metaphor, to boot!

  2. Hi. It's a great idea to fix and re-upholster stuff than throw it. Why throw stuff when you can still use it? Right?
