Peacocks and Horsemen

Here is a good size slipper chair that needs a make over.

Good solid frame.

With an oak plywood frame loaded with extra long decorative tacks and staples.

Here I used a hardwood 1 inch a/c plywood cut to size, one  and a half inch nailers with hide glue.

 Topped off with body filler to smooth out the frame for a skirt.

Then sanded down.

 This is a double skirt requested.

Had to put some thought how to work this one up.

                                             The skirts ussually go on last but not on this one.

I'm glad I steam pressed the skirt before hanging it.

Sure makes a nice difference.

 I want this one almost kissing the floor.

Hand sewn and custom cut corners on the 3 sided decking.

Finished up clean and crisp.

Note the zippers do not roll onto the sides of the seat cushions.

They stay to the back and bottoms. For a nice simple look.

And topped off with the seat cushions with a variety of scenes if so desired.
