This was a commission piece for a customer who is sentimentally attached to this chair. She wanted it revamped in honor of her parents; wonderful reason! It came out really fun in peacock and she's in love with it which is always a great outcome. Another successful transformation!
As usual I like to start with the end, this is the after photo.
This is the before... it came to me with two arms attached, I just almost forgot to take 'before' photos! It is a rocking chair and didn't squeak a bit!
I put a bit more foam on the seat and a new layer of dacron to make it more comfortable but overall this little rocker was in great shape!
This shows the underside of the chair with the rocking mechanism.
I made piping from the same peacock fabric and sewed it all together to cover the seat just right with the piping on the edges of the seat.... that was challenging!
Perfect placement of the pattern and the piping.
This is the back, it's the same green as the seat, just weird color in the photo.
We decided on no buttons as they would compete with the pattern, I like the simplicity of this.
Upholstery complete.

I brightened up the wooden arms with a little cleaner and polish and she's all ready.
