16 Dining Chairs

by

I have to admit, I lost sleep over these 16 dining chairs with separate seats and backs. I was trying to figure out how to go around the back post and velcro the skirt closed and make it look good. 
The chairs underneath are gray leather with large nail head trim with no skirt. The client felt like the dining room was cold and wanted to add some fabric with a skirt to the floor.
Here is the drawing my designer client drew up for me to show me what he wanted.


AFTER—of course the white linen backs had to be lined. They only wanted black toppers for every other chair and then the picture frame fabric in between (some are square and some are oval).

The topper fabric was a shiny black chintz—so it looks somewhat like leather. The designer decided no piping—which I thought turned out nice.

I did attach some ribbon ties under the skirt next to the back legs, so I could strap the seats on more securely….since they are leather and slippery seats underneath.

My client chose this great heavy weight red basket weave fabric. It was literally like a blanket…super thick. Luckily she didn’t want a skirt. I don’t think I could have done one with this fabric.
Chair–BEFORE— muslin covered and ready for a slipcover. 

 Chair–AFTER—great red chenille fabric.

 Back cushion and outside arm

 I loved it with her cow ottoman and floral chair–I love mixing patterns and textures, and having an unexpected piece.

Front of chair— I made the front part under the cushion extend over to the outside arm, so the front panel would look cleaner.
SIDE NOTE—- My sister just finished putting together my Christmas card. My youngest lost his tooth the day before we took pics!

 Front of card

 Back of Card— We joked that the boys were lowering each other down to catch lizards.

My client wanted to switch it up…and get slipcovers made for her dining room. She chose this great fabric with fall colors.

Chair—BEFORE

Chair–AFTER—I piped out the arms and inside arms. Tuck in around the seat, and matched up the band on the front.

Whole dining room together!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO YOU ALL!!!
Side Note—- Demo of our fence and large willow tree has begun and our new garage is going to be built next month. Then we will start on converting our old garage to my new “work studio”!
Here is my inspiration pic of how we may fill in our garage door for the work studio, except there will be 5 sections and two of them will open up…so I can move furniture in and out.
