Let the nesting begin. There's been much back and forth about all the thrift store furniture in our house - keep it and recover? or scour the likes of Hattiesburg for something new? Final decision? We love it too much to get rid of it. There's nothing like 1950s craftsmanship, right?
After [finally] finding an upholstery person in this [god-forsaken-deep-south-podunk] town, we started in our $12 mod-chair. (It was originally $25, but, alas, half-price day at the DAV on Summer in Memphis = score for the Brady's). When you see the following picture, you may not believe I'd pay even $12 for it, but I promise you, it did not look so haggard pre-kitty living.
I'd always envisioned a houndstooth fabric to recover it with and found the perfect one at Calico Corner on a recent trip to Memphis. I think the results are fantastic. Our upholsterer removed all the old springs, replacing them with new foam. The chair is so comfortable!!
Next up: Couch and chair, oh yeah, and the nursery....more Nesting Brady Style to come!
[Sidenote: here's what the chair looks like most of the time to avoid a repeat kitty disaster....Ha!]
