I hated the fabric and the look of this chair so much I almost did not buy it……but something in me whispered “It’s gonna knock your socks off”…..and so against my better judgement I purchased it, and brought it back to the studio! I am so glad I listened to that inner voice……because this chair paired with some mustard paint, and masted ship fabric from IKEA is in serious danger of going down as one of my favorites! I don’t play favorites ….so that is saying a lot!
I love this chair so much…….and the name is “Argosy”. “Argosy” if you please. {350.00}

You did a fabulous job on the chair. And I completely agree with your comment on the IKEA fabric. It is a favorite for me as well. It has been hard to get at our store but I keep trying.
Have a great Monday!
Pam….thank you so much! The IKEA fabric is so great…..it is like a linen…and it is pulled a bit…..so, so good! I hope your store gets it in soon! Hope you had a great Monday too! xo
My boys aren’t up so I can actually comment…I! LOVE! IT!!!!!!! So gorgeous, right up my alley.
And thanks so much for your business posts; I’ve enjoyed them thoroughly…starting on a little adventure of my own…they are so inspiring and helpful!
Hope Friday night went wonderfully!!
Jennifer, Thank you so much! I am so glad you enjoyed the business posts…and I wish you all the best on your new venture! Woo hoo!
Friday night was wonderful…I was so overwhelmed by all of the love and support!
Oh no! You worked your ‘magic’ again! Nice ‘crisp’ upholstery job too…it’s all in the details!
Thank you miss Jenny! I can take no credit for the upholstery…..all that credit goes to my buddy Dale…..he is amazing! :}….but we make a great team for sure! {wink!}
you’re such a clever girl.

Love, love, love. What a perfect combo!!
Thank you so much Kim! :}
OK I just stumbled on you recently so excuse me. You are crazy!!! This chair is gorgeous. I LOVe what you did! I am curious. What caused you to name your pieces? I just started painting my own and I’ve thought about naming mine but thought it might seem cheesy. I like it, tho…adds to its character.
Hey Jen! Hah! I am totally crazy….and I even admit it! Thank you for the chair love, and for visiting and reading the blog!
I started naming my pieces a couple of years into my furniture business because I noticed that artists always had the most beautiful names for their pieces….and sometimes the name captured me even more than the piece. I decided that I wanted each of my pieces to be named as well…….and I was a bit shy about doing it at first, since declaring furniture as “art” was a big step for some people…..but then it just became part of what I do…..and now you can’t separate the two! Many have followed my lead….so their must be something to it! :}
Barb,
I just ran across your site for the first time today (how I have missed it this far, I have no idea!!) and I am totally hooked. Your stuff is simply amazing, and incredibly inspiring. I saw this chair in your yearly round up post and had to keep reading to find it! I’m in love. I would have never guessed the fabric is from Ikea. Thanks for sharing your tips and tricks.
Hey Kelly!
Thank you so much for reading, and for your kind words! I am so glad you are here!
IKEA is a great source for really good fabric! I have covered many a piece in it….and just love it all!
