It's Vintage Darling : Charlotte

Hello Darlings,
So, a couple of months ago, a friend of ours sent us a picture of a chair that was sitting next to a dumpster that someone had thrown out. Being the amazing friend she is, she offered to scoop it up and place it in the back of her 2004 Chevy Colorado, and held onto it until we could pick it up from her. When we saw it in person we could not believe how amazing the wood frame on the chair was, of course the pattern of the fabric was hideous, but Oh My,the legs! They were slender and had a slight curve at the bottom, sure there was a little chip missing off of one of the legs, but it just added a little extra character.

We then started planning how to bring our new piece back to life!, Most of our pieces had the buttons on the backs of them, so we were wanting this one to have a different vintage look. We stumbled upon a style called "channel" backing, which looks kind of like a shell (sorry that is the only way we can describe it).

Since it was September, we wanted to plan for the Christmas holiday coming up, so we agreed on a red velvet fabric, which we found at Hobby Lobby. We got 4.5 yds @ $14.99/yd = $67.46 (plus tax) then applied our 40% off coupon (click to print), making our total to over a little $40 (yaaayy savings!)

About 4 weeks and $150 later, we got our new baby back from the upholster, and oh man, she looked good!!

Thankfully, we started receiving calls and messages to book the piece for holiday photo sessions. So our new chair, which we decided to name Charlotte, got to work!
Up to date, she has been apart of 8 Christmas photo sessions, 2 graduation photos, 1 vintage themed birthday party, and her highest honor, an engagement, we will totally tell you about that later. Maybe next time......
