I’m sharing a furniture makeover today that my son, Matt and his fiancé, Justin did recently.  I absolutely adore what they did and they agree to let me blog all about it.   So the story starts with my dad.  My dad received these chairs many, many years ago from his office.  They were renovating and the old pieces of furniture not needed were offered to the employees.   They resided in his home office for as long as I can remember and then later on moved into the finished basement.

The before shows off their nubbly orange mod upholstery, that just speaks to the 60-70’s era that they were part of.

There was even this label at the bottom of the chairs dated 1964 and from Kitchener, Ontario.

Since, my parents are downsizing and trying to unload a ton of furniture, Justin, who is a mid-century modern aficionado, quickly took these home.

Justin wanted a grey men’s suiting type fabric and I was fortunate enough to spy some during Kravet’s online sale, which we picked up for a song.  Then Matt and Justin went to work on them and this is how they turned out.

All I can say is WOW! What a transformation! Mama is very proud!
