Here’s a peek at Kris Compas’s Lisa Chair Kit. I used the same fabric and finishes as the coordinating sofa. It’s an interesting build — some of those pieces are wee. The kit’s very well thought out, with detailed instructions, and of course the ultra-convenience of not having to measure and cut the parts.
The optimal placement of cabriole legs is a mystery to me. I badly placed them three times, (I know, how hard could it be?!) and since that involves drilling holes, the bottom of the chair is now less than pristine :( After whining to Kris in an email about it, she made some smart suggestions, and I was able to do a good-enough fix. Just don’t inspect the underside.
The painting in the background is the foundation color wash dabbing paper :)
It turned out great. I like the painting too. :)
Thanks, Keli. Think I might doodle in some line work. Cave painting period :)
Modern art!
I’ve made the House of Miniatures Wing Chair kit — I think it was the most intense build I’ve ever assembled. It’s easier to recover a full size chair than make these tiny ones.
I thought the same thing, Christina! Especially cutting all those tiny notches in the fabric, some of them in place on the chair. Intense is a good descriptor.
I love the touch of purple with the legs. It looks great!
Cyd, thanks. The purple is brighter in good light, kind of whimsical :)
Looks great! The check material and the purple really lend a modern look to a classic.
Thanks, BW. As I was staring at it while recovering from the cabriole trauma, I *really* wanted to make a bowl of pop corn and and curl up in the chair with a book.
The chair looks great and the painting is quite abstract, something you’d see in an upscale art gallery. ;)
A *tiny* upscale gallery :) Thanks, Bennie.
Beautiful chair💕
