I purchased this club chair and ottoman at an estate sale yesterday.
It is a lee chair in excellent condition-just needs a fresh new fabric.
I love the tufted back.
As you can see, the fabric is nothing that I am interested in, so
I also picked up this beautiful, chinese toile fabric.
I am going to cover the ottoman in the same fabric and
will either cord it in the coral color
(if I can find a fabric that matches) or pick out a cording.
Would love any ideas.
The chair also came with a pillow, so I will cover
that in a coordinating fabric.
I love little projects like this!!
The homeowner was a decorator, so she had lovely fabrics and fine furnishings.
I love estate sales and wish there were more in my city.
What treasures you can find.
I would much rather purchase furniture, artwork and accessories
from an antique store, estate sale or even a
good ol' yard sale, then off the floor at a furniture store.
I hope to get it reupholstered in the next couple of weeks-will post picture.

Going to be gorgeous! That fabric is just wonderful. Such a gorgeous finish on it!! I have corded in the same fabric and in a contrast. Over time I found that I regretted using a contrasting color. Seemed I became tired of it. I now cord in the same fabric if it's for my LR. If it's a bedroom piece or DR piece, I get more "creative". xoxo
Love that chair! I am the same way about buying things at antique shops or estate sales, I would much rather do that!
Can't wait to see the chair when it's finished! I think the coral cording will look great!
What a fabulous find! It's going to be just lovely in the fabric you've chosen. I love attending estate sales. If only there were more in our area.

The chair was picked up a couple of days ago-so I should have it back in 2-3 weeks and will post pictures soon!
