Even though the rooms in my new house are not very big, I think it wouldn't look good if I put in many small pieces of furniture. When I was playing around with some odd pieces to see what would work, I had also used a half finished chair I started working on about four or five years ago. I never finished it (see the green chair in my previous post).
As the green unfinished chair was sitting in the room, I thought its style would actually work very well in the room. I just needed the finish the arms, put new upholstery on it and make some legs for it. I love the little casters on the legs!
Here's a little peek at the legs under the skirt.
The chair isn't quite finished yet, as it really needs some upholstery trim to hide the selvedge of the fabric. I do like this selvedge with the line and dots (thats why I kept it on show), but it also has the little holes which you often see on selvedges.

J adore votre fauteuil . Je ne peux pas vous faire un compliment plus grand que de vous dire que j aimerais avoir le même ! J adore le tissu . La couronne sur la cheminée est très belle . Bravo.
De stoel wordt vast weer een kunststukje, ik vind hem al veel mooier geworden met dit stofje.
Weet van mijn 1:1 cursus 'stoel bekleden' dat het veel werk is. Dus hoop ook nog eens zo iets in het klein te doen.
Truly Amazing !
Hello Josje,
What a beautiful job you did on the chair. The lines are nice and clean and I love the way you cut the fabric to shocase the pattern. It looks perfect in the room! Absolutely lovely!
Best wishes,
Giac
It´s a beauty, Josje!
Love, Susanne
I like the little chair a lot. It's beautifully made.

I love the shape of the chair and the color of the fabric.

Hi, Josje! Your chair is exquisitely crafted down to every perfect detail and those casters! Do the wheels spin? They are amazing, and so are you!
Your chair is beautiful Josje! Extremely well made and such a beautiful colour - and those casters, wow!! Judith x
Very nice chair! I can not see any flaws!
Beautiful Josje! You always make wonderful scenes and miniatures.
Please do consider making a book on your dolls houses/miniatures. Your pictures are great and it would be a real inspiration ( I know someone who would beg for an extra one,nicely paid for, of course)
Cheers,
Elly
Dear Josje,
Your choice of fabric is as usual, perfect, it complements the other colours in the room beautifully.
The wreath is lovely too, did you make it yourself?
Stunning as usual.

That chair is absolutely beautiful, Josje! I love the fabric and the color and the rolled arms. And the casters are great. Beautiful work.

De stoel is erg mooi geworden! Ik vind de walnoten vloer echt een plaatje, wat leuk om zulke handige onverwachte kado'tjes te krijgen!
In het algemeen houd ik helemaal niet van kerst mini's, misschien ook wel omdat ik teveel oncharmante en kitcherige versies heb gezien, maar dit vind ik echt heel mooi! De kleuren zijn wel kerst, maar dan wel heel sophisticated! Het gaatzo te zien een smaakvol en stijlvol geheel worden!
I love this chair you did a fantastic job and will look nice in your room. Also I love that walnut floor it is beautiful. Nice job. Cheers. LJ
Werkelijk schitterend: zó klein en dan zo gedetailleerd!
Very nice job on the chair and I love the little casters, too. Your floor turned out beautiful. Love it all!
De stoel is weer prachtig geworden, de kleur ook, het benadrukt de sfeer heel goed.
We zullen niet naar de beurs gaan, ik moet werken.
Het zal wachten tot maart worden, maar dan ben ik er zeker, ze willen dan mijn werk tentoonstellen.
Groetjes Sylvia
Ah Josje ... such a beautiful job you've done on this wonderful chair ... one of my favorite styles, and so very English in it's appearance. And, I agree with Elly ... a book of your designs would be such a pleasure!
Wow! What a transformation Josje, the proportions are lovely and the colour beautiful.
Thank you all for your wonderful comments! The chair is not perfect at all, but it looks the part!
Fiona, yes I did make the wreath a few years ago. I used some natural material ( I think it is called reindeer moss) as the base. It is quite brittle though, I shall have to spray it to preserve it.
Sylvia, wat geweldig zeg! En spannend voor jou om dat allemaal te laten zien! Maar ik weet zeker dat we het allemaal prachtig zullen vinden. Een enorm leuk vooruitzicht!
