Walking around the flea market, I found this old chair 🤔. Although it was covered with faded fabric, with noticeable scratches on the armrests, and the legs were darkened by time, I still decided to give it a second life 😍. ⬇️⬇️
One day, while walking through a flea market, I came across an old chair. It was covered in faded fabric, with noticeable wear on the armrests, and the legs were darkened by age.
Many would pass it by, but I immediately saw the potential in it. And since I'm great at needlework and restoration, the decision came naturally – I accept it!
Before I started transforming it, I disassembled the chair, admired the frame and realized how much fabric I would need. My calculations showed that I would need 2 meters 40 centimeters for the upholstery.
Initially, I chose olive fabric – I thought that its calm shade would fit perfectly into the interior. But the more I looked at the chair, the more I realized: it lacked brightness!
Finally, I added purple to the project – it brought freshness and contrast.
I especially wanted to keep the side covers of the chair – their original design was part of its character. So I just carefully updated them, cleaned them and strengthened them.
For the pillows, I wanted to do something special.
The decision came unexpectedly – I used an ordinary 5mm cable from the hardware store, wrapping it with pieces of fabric. This edging gave the pillows a stylish, finished look.
Единственото, което оставаше, беше да поработя върху краката. Не исках просто да ги рисувам – исках да подчертая естествената текстура на дървото.
Затова ги третирах със специално масло и след това ги покрих с вакса, за да запазя текстурата и да им придам лек блясък.
След няколко дни упорита работа, столът беше неузнаваем!
How do you like this transformation? 😊
