Early 20th century bent wood ice cream chairs rescued at an auction.  Many hours of hand sanding and painting with eco-friendly paint.  The cushion covers, added for style and comfort, are made from recycled soda bottles--yes, you read correctly.    Chairs sell individually for $65 or $150 for the set of 3.  Sorry, these don't ship so you'll have to visit a show or make arrangements via e-mail.  One Scoop Felt made from recycled soda bottles is not fire retardant. Bent Wood Ice Cream Chairs Hard to find anywhere these days! Two Scoops Three Scoops

	Church Chair The finished product! 80 Years Old and Even Better Than New      Mt. Zion Episcopal Church purchased a set of folding chairs somewhere between 1915 and 1920.  They'd gotten VERY dirty and some had become unstable.  This lovely "From The Mount" makeover shows what can be done with a lot of elbow grease and a smidgen of design talent.  Check out the before picture and the comparison between old and re-newed.    The original hardware remains intact.  The old finish was removed (sanded) and a new colored stain was applied.  All the fabric in the cushion is new.  The memory foam makes the chair more comfortable.  The design, of course, is original to the piece.   Price:  $150 Sorry, sold 10/24/09 Before! It's hard to see all the accumulated grease and grime Before and After Quite a difference a lot of sanding, staining and quilting can make

	Lots of Details      Embellishments "make" a piece.  The flap button is a Gita Maria original, porcelain on silver with a genuine saltwater pearl.  The two clay buttons on the chair back are handmade. Let's Rock!     This beautiful old ladies rocker dates back to the late 19th or early 20th century.  It appears to have been handmade with whatever wood might have been available.  The frame is oak; that I know from trying to drill holes.  At least 7 coats of early paint were hand sanded into oblivion--hours and hours of work!    The fabrics are new, ranging from "name"silks to  cottons.  The design, of course, is original. Price:  $250  (these chairs do not ship) Comfort Assured     This chair originally had a leather and wood seat.  Memory foam now sits atop a firm wood base.  The fabric is quilted onto batting for stability and extra comfort.  A lady's chair typically sits low to the ground so the 2"+ of padding make it a little easier for getting up and down.     Many, many thanks to Paul Darnauer and Matt Matthews for their patience and elbow grease.
