The finished product: my refurbished Louis Chair! (Part 3)

Remember my super ambitious and overwhelming chair reupholstery project? The vintage Louis XV chair my grandma gave my mom years ago. It didn't go with her house so it sat in our garage for a while because I love it so much. I'm so so happy that I've now found a great place for it in our entry way, and I've finished all the steps so we can sit on it proudly.

In Phase I, I took it apart and painted it. Then I got intimidated and didn't do anything for a while. Then in Phase II, I stapled and recovered. I even made the double piping. Then summer got busy and the chair sat around for a while partially finished.

Now, I am finally finished!!

I'm glad I went with the neutrals for the fabric and paint (even though I dreamed of hot pink! ;) ). Pillow versatility.

Proud!! I have another few chair reupholstery projects in the queue, but they're pretty big, too. Not sure I'm ready until I have some more free time, maybe in the winter?

I'm slowly learning furniture upholstery skills!!
