Why I decided to "revive" this chair?

Why I decided to "revive" this chair? I do not know for what reason I do come to mind, moreover, that had never anything like this was not engaged. Chair as a chair, a typical Soviet, not antiques, no value is. It brought to my apartment from the street worker who plastering the walls, he found it next to the trash and decided to use to get on it. The work was finished, and the chair was at my house.

In general, the "itch" my hands, wanted to transform it, the more that the chair itself was not structurally strong and in need of restoration. I took off and threw all the old upholstery, clean off with a wooden base seats and stubborn clinging foam from time. Carefully sanded by hand wooden parts and double-covered with the primer is completely dry.

On the base, which sells fabrics for furniture manufacturers like this I bought a good meter thick upholstery jacquard, there has bought a piece of thick foam. It was not easy to convince the manager, as the base of wholesale and a small piece of me did not want to cut and sell.

Painting used a white acrylic paint, which is tinted by the color of fabric, it perfectly lays down to the wood and dries quickly. I opened the chair twice and then twice more with acrylic lacquer. While between painting a chair to dry, I took upholstery. For the remainder of the wooden sidushku cut to size piece of foam rubber. Top pulled the cloth, it was the most difficult, because the fabric on the seat constant frown and did not want to stretch perfectly straight. We had to ask for help a friend. While she was holding, I'm reinforcing fabric on the reverse side building stepplerom.

Frankly, such a result by itself is not expected. In my opinion, the chair turned out just gorgeous. At least when the first photo show to friends, many I do not believe this "ugly duckling" with the trash turned out such a masterpiece.
