One Armed Bandit; Side Chair Makeover

Pin It


This poor old girl was in very good shape, a little blah, and the poor dear only had one arm.  She was very sturdy and definitely worth making over.  She was given to me because her owner was pretty sure I would see her worth.  She had been previously made over, and was done very well.


You can see by her insides that she is older than she looked.  Since I removed her other arm, I had to add support on the sides so that she won't loosen up and get wobbly.  You can see her original fabric right below my left hand.  It was sort of a gold brocade I think.


She looks likes she is getting younger every day!


I'm thinking about painting her legs, but for today, here she is.




How do you like her now?
