My chair


I found this picture via apartmenttherapy.com, scavenger. The chair and ottoman are for sale for $625. They say there is no makers mark on there chair, but I believe it is the same chair I just recently upholstered. My chair had been reupholstered in the 70's, and maybe the headrest was tossed at that time, I might have to make one for mine. The base is also darker on theirs, So now seeing this I will definitely be using some walnut danish oil on mine.

  1. My friend sent me a link to your place on apartment therapy. It's beautiful! My husband and I have been in South City for almost a year and just moved into a large 2 bd in Shaw. I've been inspired by photos of your place (we have similar taste!). I would love to talk about where you find your deals as I am a thrifter myself, but am still getting my feel of the city.

  3. Hi there! A friend of mine told me about your blog. I am really interested in learning to refinish furniture. Would you or anyone you know be interested in teaching me? I believe you are in South city somewhere - I am in Tower Grove Park. I checked out the community colleges in the area and there are not any classes offered. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks so much! Kama

  5. I have been a silent stalker of your blog for some time now...haha. I figured it was time I tell you how inspired I am by your space.
    Your blog is great and I wish you lived in Pittsburgh so we could chat about all the great spots to treasure hunt! I would make it your mission to recreate my home too! haha!
    Can't wait to see what you do next.

  6. Hey Rae, thank you so much for silently stalking, some times I feel like I'm just talking to myself! We have friends that live in pittsburg, and we have been threatning to come and stay with them, if that ever happens I will have to have you show me all the good spots to treasure hunt!

  7. Hannah, if you ever happen upon Pittsburgh let me know! In the meantime I'll keep a watchful eye on this blog of yours as I keep dippin' my big toe deeper into the pool of outfitting my home. (Did I mention I live in a cedar paneled box!) Good Luck!
