Extreme chair makeover: An Aesthetic Movement style folding chair.

We all have one, or two , or several of these sitting in a closet or garage. The turn of the century wooden folding chair. They are simple and sturdy but frankly not much to look at . BUT, they don't look good in our Victorian homes when we have to used them when company comes over.

So the question for me had always been what to do and we decided to see if it was possible to 'restyle' one of these in a way that make it more compatible in a period home.

So we took some paisley fabric, some cotton batting and some 5 inch fringe and ....a poor mans Hunzinger chair. As you can see from the before and after below, its a simple, but amazing transformation.
