I finished one of them. Take a look at what they looked like before.
I finished the armless one first, because it was the only one that didn't sport a big hole in the back.
They were all wobbly. I had to reinforce the frames. I gave this one multiple layers of white paint. I then added more stuffing to the seat, and recovered it, using some of my recently unearthed fabric.
Now, to tackle the damaged duo. See ya soon.

ReplyDeleteRosemary,
ReplyDeleteLove that fabric.Hmmm can't wait to see what you do with the other too.I am sure they will look amazing!

Can't wait to see what you do with the damaged ones. I adore cane back--but always skip over the damaged ones because I don't know what to do. Love the one you finished!
ReplyDeleteChairs are just beautiful
ReplyDeleteWow! I can hardly believe it's the same chair! It looks gorgeous. How are you going to repair the other two?
ReplyDeleteJeanine
That looks great, Rosemary! I love the lines to that chair. Great that you have your husband looking for stuff for you. He's got a good eye. I'm sure you'll figure something out for the two with the holes.
ReplyDeleteThey were so perfectly imperfect. Your husband has a great eye for the things you can work your magic on. Love the transformation and I'm sure the others will be just as nice.
ReplyDeleteYour chairs are gorgeous Rosemary! What a wonderful transformation!
ReplyDeleteHi Rosemary,
ReplyDeleteWow! Now that's one amazing transformation. I adore the stencil type fabric you used.

These are beautiful chairs, But you have made it even more beautiful.I love the fabric. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the chair and beautiful fabric! I am curious about how you will fix the backs of those other chairs?
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Rosemary!! Can't wait to see the other two!
ReplyDeleteI adore that fabric and it's perfect for those chairs. Such a nice save! Can't wait to see what you do with the other 2. How lucky you are to have a husband who appreciates and feeds your need for fixer-uppers. He has a good eye, too.
ReplyDeleteAs usual lady everything you touch comes out positively beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI had to have some similar chairs recaned, thanks to a little boy who used to build tinkertoy creations on the backs! I have thought since then they would look good upholstered, and I may try that next time. Curious to see what you do!
ReplyDeleteThis chair looks great. Can't wait to see the other two when you are done.
ReplyDeleteI really love the fabric you used on this chair!
ReplyDeleteThat does look lovely, classic Rosemary style. Are you going to make them a set, or is the cane work too badly damaged?
ReplyDeleteHi Rosemary! I love that your husband has his feelers out for you too. Great looking chair!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous makeover and love that fabric.
ReplyDeleteLove the transformation! You have a wonderful hubby that knew your taste and knew you could make those chair into something beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLove the blue and white combo. Cane back chairs are the best! Great job!
ReplyDeleteHi Rosemary
ReplyDeleteGreat job as always. I love that hubby is on it this as well. Its great way to have fun together.
Have a wonderful week

Very nice! You did a wonderful job bringing that chair back to life!
ReplyDeleteyour the girl, you have that special touch to turn something ugly into beauty
ReplyDeleteLove the chair! Nice hubby!
ReplyDeleteI love what you've done with this. I literally just picked up a similar style chair with a round back from a seller on CL about two hours ago. This is quite inspiring for me!
ReplyDeleteThat chair looks awesome...the blue pattern fabric looks great against the white. Great job!
ReplyDeleteYou are the master.
ReplyDeleteLove your redo on these chairs. They look so lovely!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful job, as always! I love the added scroll on the arms of the armed chairs. Looking forward to seeing how you "fix" em.
ReplyDeleteSusanne.
What a beautiful transformation! We would love to have it linked up at our party.

You have such a good hubby. He knew those chairs were going to be amazing and they truly are.
ReplyDeletePaula
I just bought 6 caned French chairs at auction this week!! Thankfully they didn't need repairs like some of yours. You did an awesome job!
ReplyDeleteThis one turned out gorgeous, I'm sure you'll work your magic on the other two. Can't wait to see what you end up doing!!
