It's that time of year again....

Those of you who follow my blog regularly have probably noticed a reduction in output the last few weeks.  Cold weather, shorter days and holiday activities are all encroaching on my restoration time.
The stripping and finishing chemicals just don't work as well in colder temps.  I can't go out and put on another coat of finish after the little one gets put to bed.  I tend to put off pieces that need more structural work to the winter.  That stuff can be done in colder weather but it also takes additional time.  Fortunately Colorado affords us pretty decent weather between storms so there are opportunities to get stuff done.  I'll crank the stuff out as quickly as time and weather permits.  Thanks to all who have visited the site and especially to those who have been able to take some of these pieces home.

Pair of Chrome Canvas and Leather Sling Chairs

There are no labels or markings of any kind identifying the origin of these cool chairs.  Looking at some of the details I would guess Scandinavian but at this point that is a guess. Regardless, they are nicely made and with their canvas sling seating support, quite comfy.  The saddle leather strap armrests are a nice and unique feature.  When I acquired these the original one piece cushions were intact however they had a very dated and faded pale turquoise fabric on them.  I've really been loving the current trend of indigo velvet on sofas, especially on those with warm wood details.  These don't have wood but they do have those camel colored leather strap arms.  The shimmer of the velvet also plays well with the shiny chrome. 
I had these in my storage room with some the fabric swatches I was considering when giving some friends a tour of the projects I was working on.  They saw the chairs and the indigo fabric and said they would be perfect for their newly remodeled living room.  Boom!  They were sold before I could even get them posted.
