We got the chair back!!

[kyrielle]

My mother's chair, now reupholstered in the fabric I chose last year, was brought back tonight. I am so, so pleased with how it looks. It's really funny - I have the back section of the old fabric (I asked them to save it), so I held it up, and the values of the two fabrics are very close although the designs were different. The values were closer than I realized, when I made my choice.

For now, it's in the library. Photos of it here: front view and side view.

I think it looks really good. It felt - odd, to have it reupholstered, as if I was getting rid of something of Mom's. She'd have been among the first to tell me I was being silly; the old job was worn and dirty and she'd have replaced it sometime in the next few years, herself, if she hadn't gotten sick first. After all, I know she had it redone at least once before. By doing this, I kept something of hers, really. I know that. And I know it better now that I have it back, because I really like how it came out.
