Now who will want this chair when I die?


The Naugahyde better known as the Norma and Clyde ranch decor :)

Grandma Newcomb might have had it covered in this once.

And This...

And This...


I got ambitious today and decided to recover this chair.I have always loved this chair/bench. It was the chair my mom used at our piano all my life growing up. I'm not sure it is an actually Piano bench but it seems to be a great height and size to use for one. It was covered in ugly Naugahyde when it was in the farm house in Jerome but as I looked under that, I could see it had been re-covered 3 other times. The fabric under it was much older and very worn and dirty. I decided to cover it in something that looked a bit antique. I think it turned out quite nice and now I wonder if any of my kids will want it when I die. To be perfectly honest I don't know how old it is and I don't even remember if it was passed down to my mom from her mom or if It was something my mother bought from and antique store. I will be checking with my sister to see if she recalls where it came from originally. In the meantime, I will continue to enjoy this cute chair/bench.
