Sitting Pretty............

Some time ago I moved my laptop to the dining room table. After the redecorating project early this year, I decided it was the room I most enjoyed sitting in to write my blog, send my e-mails etc. The window is large and looks out onto the front porch and garden where the birds and squirrels come to the feeders. It's a bright room and the French blue grays make it peaceful and conducive to thinking and writing.

I didn't get far with the Christmas decorating last night. The rain came down in buckets, tree branches were snapping and power outages occurred in the area. It was scary, I was here alone as DH is on a business trip.

But, I did have a pretty chair to sit in! I'm thrilled with the way the French linen hemp grain sack used as upholstery fabric has changed the appearance of this aging chair.

We used the dark blue striped sack for the box seat, front panel and cording.....................the section with the monogram MT has been saved and I will make a pillow cover with it.

The textured dark blue-gray velvet was used for the back. This same velvet will be used to re-cover the seats of the regular dining room chairs.

What do you think of this little makeover? I think it looks great and it's very comfy, especially the padded back which the dining chairs don't have.
