Ahh yes! It's done!
And yous read that right...it was FREE!
This has taken me thence long, but I dear how it turned out!
The perfect photograph prop vintage queen throne!
Here's how it began.
We drove to a nearby hiking trail equally a family.
After jogging v miles nosotros returned home...to encounter this
chair tossed out on the curb a few houses down.
Well, it was missing a bolt that holds the leg on...and the
middle cross bar was detached...but there!
We snagged it fast!
I flora a tag nether the chair, together with googled it...here's what I found:
Yeah, $488 for ii arm chairs...that makes this guy worth: $244...Free.
Muhahahahaha!
I thought I would sand it downward together with stain it black.
Ya, bad idea. I simply wouldn't live able to sand off all the
existing stain to become far await good.
See that patchiness?
Okay, that's bad. bad. At this point, I gave up.
It sat equally a neglect for a while.
Then I got brave 1 time to a greater extent than together with decided to simply pigment the darn thing...
thence I removed all cushions together with virtually 8 1000000 staples!
Ahh, thence many staples--someone was in all likelihood paid on commission!
Okay, together with then I painted it AQUA.!
(sidenote: yes, my hubby is sick of aqua. I am not)
To brand all the intricate carvings pop, I glazed it alongside some charcoal.
Much better!
The carvings were thence cool together with ornate, I didn't desire to simply pigment it black.
I wanted them to show.
Alas, much better.
She sat similar this all summer. It was simply equally good hot to practise anything!
I got brave 1 time to a greater extent than together with did the upholstery.
Cut cloth virtually iv inches wider than the backboard.
I had ii backboard pieces, since the chair shows through the backside.
First 1 alongside the padding.
I used hot mucilage together with wrapped the cloth to a greater extent than or less the backboard tightly.
Holding it until the mucilage set.
Fold the corners to avoid unnecessary wrinkled corners
Like so.
Around the locomote on curvy edge...lots of glue
Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 tight snug pull...
done.
The other backboard slice I did, it was
much easier because it is non padded.
Then the seat.
I started using my staple tacker...but the staples were equally good long,
thence I pulled out the paw staple gun.
Until it was all tucked together with pulled! I am quite the plastic surgeon!
Now for attaching said pieces to the chair.
I started alongside the seat. iv screws easily reattach the topographic point base. Easy.
Then the backboard.
I took the unpadded board that I covered together with stapled inward place.
The tricky purpose was attaching the padded backboard to that piece!
I ended upwards simply scooching the cloth together with padding to the side together with stapling
through the board into the other backboard together with chair...
does that fifty-fifty brand sense?
Anyways, it crusade some puckering...so I simply went alongside it together with made
it symmetrical.
I flora a slice of flake pipage I had laying around
together with hot glued it inward the cleft betwixt the padded backboard together with the forest chair frame.
Done! Give it a damask dark together with white pillow, together with she is set!
The perfect photograph prop chair for picayune daughter photograph shoots!
