Ele I LOVE the chair.I like it with the white side and black side up it looks great either way maybe in the summer white up and black down for fall.Your room looks wonderful!I love Mittens watching it all.LOL Hugs to her from Cinder.Hugs,Jen
I love that chair Ele! It looks so comfortable to curl up in with a blanket, cup of tea and favorite book or magazine on a winters night. I think the redo is beautiful and the chandelier looks wonderful!
How brilliant is THAT? I want to have my sofa & love seat re-covered, and I hope you won't mind if I steal that dual-color idea. Holstein, indeed. LOL!
It kind of does look like a holstein, but that's not a bad thing. It is nice to be able to switch the look by flipping the cushion. The chandelier is also very pretty.
Ele, it's gorgeous, you know me I Love multi fabrics together! Kitty on the floor is looking at the chair like, did you do those colors just for me! Love the chandy and the whole room!
Hi Ele, I love the way the chair turned out~~ Holstein and all. Love the black and white and it looks wondeful in the room along side that black cabinet. The chandelier is gorgeous. Your home is amazing. Hope you are doing well. Happy Creating. Celestina Marie
Hi, Ele..we're home from our 18-day trip and I'm reading all your posts I missed while we were away. I absolutely adore your Holstein chair! I like the brown and white combination for the seat cushion and pillows...just looks very rich! I'm off to read more of your posts. Take care.
Wow, Ele, the chair turned out beautifully! Did hubby help you mooo-ve it into that room? :0) You do know that I absolutely approve of that blingy chandelier, too!!
Hi Elle I'm sure it was a compliment too! *hugs*. It looks great. It looks so much in character and fits so well with everything in the room. Much happer than it was before. You did good! Judi
Hello Ele, oh my goodness what a beautiful transformation you've made with this chair. I love it. Your chandelier is so elegant. Love them both. Your living room is beautiful, I love that curio next to the chair! Bless you, Shirl Shirls Rose Cottage
Beautiful Ele! The "after" turned out so nice! Im giggling over the Jersey or Angus. tee! hee! Love your chandelier. Really pulls the whole room together. ;) XO,Jenn
The chair looks gorgeous. But he is funny. Love your blog and your home. My daughter's name is Hannah, and we lovingly refer to her as "Hannah Banana".
You are a girl with my same heart. I love "stuff". I don't really do simple. Or plain. That was such a great comment, made me smile. And yes, I wanted a biblical name, and She is absolutely my Grace of God. An everyday reminder. So nice to meet you!!
Love the black and white, so sharp together, you did a great job. You are just so creative...Phyllis

HE called MY chair redo a Holstein. Are you serious? Darling, have you been farming/ranching a little too much? [Image]The joy of recovering furniture is that you can plan EXACTLY how you want it to look. Yes Dear, I planned the chair to look this way. The cushion can be either white or black, or shall we say Jersey or Angus! Which do you prefer?[Image][Image][Image]This is how the arm chair looked before it was reupholstered. It was covered in golf fabric and resided in a bedroom. This chair has big sturdy arms, yards of upholstery tack, and is comfortable. The logical choice was to reupholster and reuse. Plus, reupholstering cost less then buying new AND I was able to choose the design. The side chair was moved to the main floor family room. [Image]Remember the new chandelier. It has been hung. [Image] Holstein? It just had to be a compliment. Blessings, Ele
