You can buy new cheaper than upholstery. I turned work away when I did upholstery, for that reason. I let people know the intensive hand work that I did and that unless that furniture was antique or had strong family meaning, then go buy new. I worked off a waiting list because people treasured good work.

Mary, I would so make that chair a fun piece!
Hmmm....wondering if it's possible to ship it to you.

can you take apart and just mail seat and back

Good idea, my husband could probably do it and put it back together. I would have to check on cost of shipping and if Bay could do it.

My guess would be no. The cover is crafted to the piece. It is not like a slip cover that you can take off. The cover is attached to the piece and I don't believe they made modular furniture way back when... :lol:

step dad passed. They had 4 air conditioners she did keep two small ones giving us a small one and the really big one

My friend Kristine and I where coming back from 75% off end of season sale at nursery, when we stopped at a flea market. It was late afternoon most sellers where packing up to go home. I spotted a old table, the finish was so bad you couldn't tell what kind of wood table was. It had old shellacked finish that was hazed white and crackled. Based on shape I knew table was American Empire library table most likely made from mahogany. i asked the man how much for table and could not believe he said $25. My car was completely filled with trees and shrubs from nursery sale, I was tiring to think how to get table home. Next thing I know my friend said would you take $20 and man agreed. We ended up tying it to roof of my car. A client refished it for me free.I use it as a desk in my office

last weekend went to the big yard sale & scored a few cheap items. i'm proud of what i found at 1 place i stopped. i got a brass Buddha head that i'm going to turn into a water fountain for my pond. also got a nice, old rocking chair that needs repainting & the webbing done. it is still in my car since i don't want it getting kicked around in the house till i have time to work on it & all the supplies picked up it make it weekend project. i got each for $10!

Someone would kick a brass Buddha head around? There are some tough ones in your home.
