CHAIR PADS

Since I last wrote we have moved country, from Singapore to The Netherlands, (Amsterdam). 
When you write it down it one sentence it sounds so simple. 


We have gone from this...

...To this...

(not literally, I mean I don't actually live in any of those houses but they're very pretty).


Before we left Singapore amidst working through a ridiculous to-do list I managed to make one final trip to see Nick The Chair. Finally I had chair pads made for my ghost chairs after having had the fabric but not managing to get my arse in gear for about 4 months. So here we go...


One very naked chair...

One very naked chair with fabric (from Grand Bhutan Lattice from Korla Home)...

  

And the final product...I really love them PHEW.

Although the minute they were finished and on the chairs they were packed up and put into the container to be shipped across the high seas - so they are yet to be sat on. 

So here all of them are at the table in our old place in Singapore...looking forward to unpacking them this end.

In fact I don't really want anyone to sit on them because they're too nice. hmmm

BEFORE AND AFTER - CHAIRS

Wowsers it's hard to get stuff done when you have a new baby, case in point, not posting anything since November...sheesh.


Anyhoo onto some of my favourite things in my house...some re-upholstered chairs. All done by my friend Nick the Chair (not his real name but what he is saved as in my iphone) up in an industrial park near my house. 


Starting with my favourite which now lives in the baby's room and was bought for a measly sum off craigslist. It pains me that I use it as a chair to feed the bub as it's way too pretty to be there in the line of fire of all the throwing up that goes on but I just haven't found an alternative. Plus the stool is great for weary feet at 3am.

...and moving on to chair number two... An ugly little fella pre makeover, bought from a second hand shop (in fact I bought two and my friend has the other matching one) but with a spray paint, some awesome fabric and lime piping - BOOM.

They just needed a little TLC.

ps. Fabrics from my friend Jane's company Korlahome
