Matteo´s chair

Yesterday I had a busy day in Madrid visiting customers, had no time to post sorry.
I am trying to travel as much as possible now and get everything done for work, because the bump is growing and soon I will not be able to travel.
A year ago my mom and me we found this little childrens chair over at a local triftshop, and I knew I had to have it. Now I had the best excuse to get it upholstered for the nursery, they delivered it today at my office, can´t wait to see it in the nursery.
The fabric is calico corners diamante, and I ordered a few more buttons on it, this is the after:


           The before was a very ugly color, but sometimes you have to look through it:

So what do you think of Matteo´s chair?

white piped upholstered wing back chair

I fould this wing back chair in a local triftshop, it had such a sad look and the colour and fabrick were awfull, but i could see through it and imagined the beauty of this chair upholstered in black fabrick with white piping.
It took a few weeks before it was ready, but it was worth the wait, now the chair is in my office.
This is how the chair looked before:
and after:

p.s. my mom asked me if I knew why these kind of chairs have these 2 bulky parts on top of the chair. I told her that I thought it was for sleeping, so you could rest your head against it. But no, she told me that  the houses many years ago were not isolated and it was often cold and to avoid being bothered by the cold draft they designed them like they are.
