I won't be able to tackle this project until late Feb / early March but wanted to give you a small update on where it is at.
I picked up these bamboo armchairs for a steal. The cushions are still in good condition but they have faded badly and need to be recovered. I think the previous owner kept the chairs in the sun.
My upholsterer will recover the cushions in new dacron and fabric and finish them with box piping instead of the centre piping as it is now. It will be a neater finish with no gathering.
I'm toying with whether to indulge in one of the fabric choices above or look at other alternatives. I don't mind indulging as the chairs will be taking centre stage in the living room.
