I'm mentally filing it away for future use. ;) I was just wondering if you were able to put the two labels - the Knoll and Met Life Ins. - back on the chair. I still can't believe someone just left this chair on the street!Theresa / InspirationCOOPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03002811206184372985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7318466817007169354.post-9382029068373447392013-03-18T12:59:18.089-04:002013-03-18T12:59:18.089-04:00Nina you really have a talent for this.

But these days in Portland someone will beat me to it - nothing goes unrescued around here. <br /><br />Anyway, I just can't get over this chair! It looks like that chair was meant to be covered in that fabric it's hard to imagine it in anything else. It's looks soooo good. I am jealous of your chair and your excellent upholstery skills.

Maybe Philadelphia never had the inventory to begin with, since a lot of those chairs and such were used in big offices in New York mostly, but man alive! I've never seen a single awesome chair on the streets of Philly, and certainly not 5 or 10 like you! You are a magnet, Nina, it's a super power! And I can almost feel how soft the new fabric is. You did such a good job!! Not much on the agenda this weekend except for catching up on sleep and laundry (exciting!), but have fun in CT with your friend!!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13225531828714263972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7318466817007169354.post-30709217170437651682013-03-15T10:09:12.401-04:002013-03-15T10:09:12.401-04:00Wow!
