New office chair

My office desk chair died.  It was a lovely old wooden chair, but it kept coming apart at the joints and I had to keep applying more wood glue and clamping.  I was sitting in the chair a couple weeks ago and the back fell off ... in pieces!!!!  So time for a new chair ...

I still wanted an old chair with character and a padded seat.   My sister-in-law, Donna,  was on the look out for one.   It was 'big' garbage day last week in Oakville, so she managed to pick up three options for me.   Last night I brought home a sturdy wooden chair with a shield back and a seat I can recover.

I added new foam and recovered the seat with the same toile that's in my office drapes.

I was thinking of painting the frame a dark red... but couldn't wait to do the seat.   I'm an instant gratification girl!!!

And here it is at work ...
