Looks like it’s a Drexel Heritage piece! Here in NC we do have a Drexel Heritage plant #33 (which is also on your label) in Morganton, NC. I’d say that was one really great find!! :)

I love your projects. I’m an absolute beginer when it comes to furnture with fabrics. You’ve given me confidence to try it myself. Thank you for the step by step details and pictures. Much better than I’ve found on even television and magazine sites specializing in do it yourself projects.
THANK YOU!

I love the transformation! I have at least 3 chairs that I have intended for many months to re-do. I too got a swell deal on some amazing fabric from Joannes, too bad it’s still in the bag…I will be getting to one of these chairs sooner than later now! Thank you for this inspiration!

I think welting in the seams would have been an easy and lovely addition. Beautiful colors!

This looks great! I’m new to repainting- how important is the wipe on poly?

Love your chair AND the end result!!
Well, I am fairly new at painting chairs, etc. so, I have a question for you. I found a $10 Century chair at my fav thrift store and I, too, will like to re-do it. I like the cushions-they are of that ‘French Gold’ color from yesteryear. The chair has a seat cushion similar to your chair, yet removable, only to reveal a more ‘permanent’ one. The chair also has a cushion back. Both have piping trim on the cushions. My question is: how would I remove the back cushion, if I wanted to paint this chair or change out the cushions? Any advice would be awsome!! Thanks!!
