finished (for now) banker’s chair

May 18, 2009 at 8:45 pm | In Antiques, During, Furniture, Projects | 7 Comments

Over the weekend, I puta few coats of polyurethane on my old banker’s chair, and then I managed to put all of the pieces back together. I am pretty proud of myself, so now I’m going to share a million pictures with you. It still needs a seat (obviously) and is missing casters on the bottom, but those will have to wait until after the big move.

What do you think? A little bit better than this (the before), right?

Wow! It looks great and I can really picture some of those fabrics we saw at JoAnn’s last week finishing off the seat. Does it move as smooth as the mechanisms look?

- I know! Some cute beige/light blue striped fabric would look cute. Guess I have an excuse to pick some up after all!
  
  And it does move really smoothly. So much better than before!

new job as you move to Kzoo… there are a ton of old pieces of furniture and antique stores in Mich. Start collecting and have a little work shop in the barn right next to Jasons beer brewing.
