A few weeks ago a client brought me this awesome chair. She was covered in black vinyl, had lost her tufts, and the bottom of the chair and ottoman were all rusted. I also had to replace the tilting mechanism. If you were sitting in the chair and leaned back you would be on the floor. Not ideal.
I removed the old vinyl, cleaned off the stainless steel legs, replaced the tilting mechanism, added piping and of course tufts. Tada! I love the fabric she picked out. You can find it at Joann Kas Oslo Amethyst. I love Kas fabrics, it is the same company that made the fabric for this re-upolstery project.
I have to say this is so comfy, I was going to drop it off today but the owners aren’t available until Thursday. Darn it, I’ll have to enjoy sitting in it for a two more days. I had no idea they were so comfortable!
Keep an eye out this week for posts on how to make tufts and also how to clean rust from stainless steal without harsh chemicals!

Where did you locate the tilting mechanism?
The chair looks great…better than brand spanking new ones I’ve seen. Awesome fabric choice too!
