Look what I scored on Craigslist from a very nice lady in Silverdale?! A truly vintage Butterfly Chair (complete with faded cover)!! Not sure who has made this, as there are no markings to be seen. However, I am SO happy this isn't one of those HIDEOUS knockoffs that has a bunch of stupid connectors at the intersections of the wires. This baby is WELDED together...
Yes, I know...the wrinkles are actually my fault. I let the cover sit in the dryer too long. I was too excited to put it to use to iron the wrinkles out. I just KNEW this would be an excellent chair for the Kitty cat. I picked it up yesterday...upon waking this morning, I caught little Miss. Kitty lounging in the butterfly! See how curled-up-comfy she looks...?
AS IT SHOULD BE.

Of course, she lost interest in my and the camera PRETTY quickly when she decided it was time to return to her napping with a very obvious YAWN. Translation: "be off with you, Human! Leave me to my beauty sleep!"
Leave her alone I did.
Although I would like to replace this with a leather sling, I plan on starting out with a Mongolian sheep's wool throw or lumbar pillow, plus a little round pillow in either jet black or an eye-popping color. I am leaning towards the black because I have SO much color going on in this room it's ridiculous!
XOXO.
Heela!! It's been forever! I was so happy to hear from you on my Blog. How is everything going?
ReplyDeleteThe fabric I used on my raincoat was a laminated fabric. I have a Singer 7462 Touch & Sew sewing machine which I got when I first got married and I LOVE it. So far it's still holding up and it's gotten a ton of use. Yay! Okay, I'm off to go look at your Blog now. Hehehe
Shaye
what a great find!
