Description

I got this chair from my mum and dad in law. it had tonnes of old paint, dirt on it and the seytingarea was brock and had no upholstery on.

first i sanded the whole chair (this took forever) but i discovered underneath its real wood surface and its natural beauty. i oiled the wood with a darker woodoil and made a tailorefitted upholstered seatingarea in the middle of the chair.

Voilà! my cat, my husband and i love it……..hope you like it too

Material Notes

Sandpaper, woodoil, upholstery fabric, upholsteryfoam, electric tacker mashine

    I couldn’t ignore a cat thumbnail! I say leave it for the cat although you all love it, cat seems happy and kind of possesive abt it… after all it’s cat’s PC chair…

    That looks very nice and it must be very comfortable, otherwise your cat wouldn’t be sitting there, right?
