My Green Chair

Your eyes are not playing tricks on you, this chair is orange, by green I mean eco-friendly. This chair is vintage 60's (with it's original fabric), and has a lot of character including some small holes in the fabric, and a not-so-small hole hidden by one of the shoulder covers. I've spruced it up by adding some fabulous vintage accents to it.

The shoulder covers were made by my wonderful Mum from vintage fabric. I purchased the cushion cover, also made from vintage fabric, from the online shop I purchased my lounge cushion covers from, William Morris Cushion Covers.

"Golden Lily Minor" vintage cotton fabric by Arthur Sanderson and Sons. (Original screenprint by William Morris).

"Warwick" vintage linen cotton mix fabric by Burgess Ledward.

I purchased this fab vintage wallpaper coaster from Lark. I featured Lark here last November.

  2. This is simply awesome! I'd love to have a favorite chair re-covered, but the cat would just scratch it. SITS sent me by, and I'm glad they did!

  3. Your blog rocks! I love all things vintage and my home is a hodge-podge of old and new. I think it adds so much dimension.

    SITS sent me here and I am glad they did.

  4. Gorgeous chair, I love how you spruced it up! I never got the chance to thank you for my lovely package, the items you put together for me are lovely! I blame my tardy thank you on lots of busy things going on right now, but as soon as life slows down a bit I'm thinking about making myself an apron and some lounge pants out of the vintage sheet you sent - I love the pattern! I hope all is well for you!

  9. My nana had a chair a bit like this one. She had it facing the fire so that when we visited we could cosy up. She'd wrap us in a blanket and make a pot of tea. If we were lucky she'd get the sweet tin out. Happy days!
