Seeing Red

While waiting the beginning of construction, I'll touch on some recent projects.

Red is one of the colors I envisioned for upholstered kitchen chairs.  We will use them in the kitchen when construction is complete.

Chair with original silk fabric.




 Preparing to cut.

Visualizing the matching process.
Back and seat, a good start.
One down, one to go. Note the bag of old fabric etc. I never toss until the project is complete.
My Uncle David was an Interior Decorator in St. Louis, MO., in the 1950's. Some of the furniture pieces I inherited were interesting, but after 50 years, well, the fabric needs replacing.    Home Dec. is one of my favorite things to do, but I keep to smaller projects now.  The chairs are complete now.

  1. Love the red chairs. Now I know why you have been too busy to hang out with your friends much. I like the computer generated addition view. Can't wait to see more.
