squigs and ajsmama, that's good to hear about Natuzzi. Whoever was suppose to come was a no show. Anele, I know it is an amazing price. Especially for they being motion ones too. Though I was disappointed the loveseat only reclined on one side. He said all recliners were in good working order, but of course I would have tested them before I bought them. I have a busy day tomorrow morning and will be out of town from the afternoon on so I'm just going to be happy with what we have for now. What I really want is a reclining loveseat where both sides recline so hubby and I can snuggle. Right now we each have our own recliners with a table inbetween. That's no fun.

Nicole, good for you for finding a way to make the chairs work for now, they are great chairs in such good shape. Are you sure, though, that you only need 4 yards of fabric each? I ask because I used 7 yards on my little chair. However, a fair piece of that was used to make the welting (although I made way more than I needed!). Here is the link to a yardage chart on a professional upholsterers site I found http://www.carrscorner.com/yardagechart.php I know what you mean about fabric price! I used CL fabric on my chair, but when I was looking for the dining chair fabric I was floored at the prices. That is why I'm using a table cloth to cover the one I'm presently working on! ;) Trancegemini, I am now kicking myself for not taking photos of the reconstruction of the chairs! Yesterday I started to rebuild the wooden chair shown above, and I started from scratch with it! I added all new webbing, replaced the springs and hand tied them, new burlap and now all new padding. I have tear-down photos of both chairs, but got so involved with putting things back together that I didn't think to record that process! Next time for sure. Double welting is the decorative trim used to cover raw ends, and I see from the link I just found that I can still use this on my pink chair looking at the way it is made, but I would have to purchase a special foot for my machine. The link to explain it is below. Scroll down to see all of the article and photos. Here is a link that might be useful: How to make/use double welt cord

If your daughter decides to change the drawer pulls, there is a website and catalog called Van Dykes Restorers. They have heaps of cabinet hardware and you can even search by 'boring size' which means the holes will match up. And hey, Newhomebuilder, you kindly answered a previous post of mine about Decatur Buff, and now, thanks to you and a few other lovely folks here, we will be using that color for our living/dining room. I've viewed the gorgeous photos of your home so often that I feel like a stalker, even moved them to my desktop. Can't wait to cover up the ten gallons of the BM Honeymoon mistake with Decatur Buff. http://www.vandykes.com/
