Sweet Chair-ity

The chair as in days of old.

Ages ago Stacy's Aunt Joyce gave her a dinning room set she really loves. The chairs that go at the head and foot of the table are upholstered and very comfortable. Since we've had them, however, the upholstry on one of them (the brother to the one in the photo to the right) became shredded and the foam stuffing started to come out. We lived with it for about a year and then started asking around for an upholsterer recommendation.

The recommendation came from our friend Karla: her mom Darlene! When Karla asked her on our behalf Darlene was quite willing. Darlene picked up the chairs and some fabric Karla had left over from some project she had done, and we didn't think much more about it. Yesterday, after only a week or so away, the chairs were back around the table when I got home from work. And what chairs they are! The job Darlene did was phenomenal. (And evidently her husband Larry got to go wild with a staple gun too.) When Stacy asked how much we owed her, she would take nothing more than the $10 for the new stuffing. We're quite grateful.

Here's the masterpiece:
