Spectacular!

The chair looks fantastic! I want one for my house.

i love those legs!

oh wow! that doesn’t even remotely look like the same chair! wonderful.

Gorgeous! What a difference!

wow, amazing job!

Absolutely incredible. I really appreciate a great rehab of a beautiful chair.

I love how the fabric pattern reflects the back legs. This is perfect!

This chair is gorgeous, as is Piper’s beautiful blog!

Very striking change! I dig it.

Absolutely gorgeous. Alexander Henry’s prints are to die for!

wow, that is amazing. i hear reupholstering is so difficult. it looks so professionally done!

love it!

SO Cute!!! Love them. And love even more that she’s from Omaha :) My hometown. Someday I’ll convince my husband to move there…

What a beautiful transformation! Well done!

She’s so fancy! and talented! :)

This is just remarkable… what a beautiful job! The fabric is ideal with the chair frame and legs… love it!

I think I am the odd man out, but I actually like the before, seeing the back exposed [at least for this particular chair] is so pretty…I would have just found a hearty linen or a sanded down denim, hand print and/or screen print a design, and cover the seat >>> & leave as is… :/

Great job! I love it! Exactly like the stuff I love to do. :)

love the black lacquer legs

It is so great to see what can be accomplished! I must be on the lookout for great “before” pieces.

Great chairs, great fabrice, very pretty.

All I have to say is gorgeous!!

Love it!

I agree with roxy, I like the natural tones the original had. I see too many redos painting the wood black, which don’t get me wrong, can work when the rest of your decor is suited to the graphic look it gives. Since the room is painted with warm tones I would have recommended a scheme something like lena corwin’s chair: http://www.lenacorwin.com/images/rotate/home_swap_4.jpg
just an opinion, the work looks well executed, just not keen on the color.

stunning.

I like the fabric but for a different furniture application.

People stop destroying beautiful old furniture. I am SO DONE with the painting furniture thing.

stunning, just stunning! i agree with nancy about painting old wood, but it looks like in this case the wood was not in the best condition..probably previously painted and stripped, so i think in this case, the black gloss is wonderful! nice!!!

Thanks for all the interest! I love my chairs! I know some of you like the old wood better – it’s not really my style and Amy was right, this wood was in pretty icky shape (badly stained and stripped!), but I understand completely! And the back is upholstered like the front, just to let you know.

This looks AMAZING!!!!! Good job, Piper!!!!!! GREAT JOB!!!!

beautifull stolicka!!

simply stunning!

Love this chair!

this is off topic but can you please tell me about the tower / fan wood item next to the chair…What is it? Does it only come out at Christmas? it knocked a memory loose from my early childhood and i’d love to try to find one. I have still the little people that are stacked on the layers…i had forgotten where they came from!
any direction you can give me would be appreciated : )

Love IT, looks great.

@ melinda – the christmas windmill is from the swedish part of my family – but is actually more of a german tradition. just search on google for wooden christmas windmill & you’ll find a lot of them! they’re fantastic – i leave mine out year round.

What style of chair is that? I would love more info on the furniture itself that makes it on the site; there are so many knowledgable folks here….

I agree with roxy, I like the original better. I adore the honesty of the chair and beauty of the exposed structure. I bought the best interior home design book called “Restoration Home”. It has influenced me greatly! check it out!
