I received an email from a girl who had seen my twins chair posting. She told me she bought two chairs and has had them for a year with the ambition of reupholstering them, clearly it hadn't happened. I had so much fun working with her, emailing back and forth all day about fabric and style. She chose the fabric and then gave me free reign on the rest. I'm in the process of recovering two stool seats for her.

I bought this from a lady in the LES, actually I can't say bought, she gave it to me! Crazy, I know! I had been wanting to take on a sofa, and it turns out this wasn't as difficult as I had imagined. The one catch with the "free sofa" was I had to pick it up. Another obstacle of living in NYC, nobody has Tahoes, trucks, etc. I found a struggling actor/model, orginally from Mexico and had just moved up here from San Antonio. Of course Tex-Mexicans had a truck and wanted to help others!

I sold these chairs as I pair (forgot to take a pic of both before they sold). I don't think I would have had room to take a picture of these together. At the time, I had 4 extra chairs and a sofa in my 650 sq ft apartment! Luckily they sold the same day I put them up. The man I bought them from had a set of 8 chairs, unfortunately I don't have room to store 8 chairs. They are really beautifully made chairs. The down fall of living in NYC.
