We bought this chair in The Cotswolds and think it’s at least 150 years old.
The whole thing was was tired and dirty, so we shipped the whole thing over to Seattle with some fabric I’d bought in London, and I walked into several antique shops in West Seattle asking for upholsterer recommendations…..
We got the name of Betty Edwards who came and collected the chair and did a fabulous job in less than a day!
It’s been totally transformed and now sits pride of place (after the TV of course) in our living room.
Just goes to show that if you have a little vision, some antiques that look a little dated can be spruced up to look a million dollars!

Lovely!! I like the hot pink.
Good for you – it looks just great and enjoy the new look for many years to come …..
Thanks guys – I’ve already had two emails asking for Betty’s number! 😉
That is gorgeous. Though I must admit, Mel, I’m a bit shocked you’d go for hot pink brocade fabric. 🙂
Surprised I’m in touch with my feminine side Geraldine? You should see our curtains!
I think that chair looks just about perfect for you!
Suddenly I see you in an entirely new light Mel!
Watched the shuttle launch-got a bit emotional and have been calling or emailing some of my American relatives.
Hope you both well and happy.
Thanks I just caught it on CNN – amazing footage!
The refurbishment on the chair looks great! A great find indeed!
