Hidden Attic Treasure

𝗔 𝗛𝗶𝗱𝗱𝗲𝗻 𝗔𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗧𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲

This chair has been in the family for over 100 years. I found this chair in the attic of the family home(it belonged to Jim’s Aunt Margaret, who passed in the 60’s (she inherited the chair from her grandmother) – her cat, Casper, had destroyed the fabric all over) so she had it stored for later repair

I found a box of heavy, vintage table runners from Jim’s mom and grandmother. (Jim remembers his grandma using them on a hutch in the 80’s).

I told Jim, “I want this fabric on this chair” I then set it all to the side. Months passed, and without my knowledge Jim took the chair to Aker Upholstery.

This was his birthday gift to me

Look what the ladies did with my cute little chair (it sits very low) – it is now a beautiful piece of art – I’m so glad his mom and grandma saved the table runners, and the chair. We are now keeping our eyes open for a low, round footstool to match, as we have extra fabric.
