<br />
To be honest i wasn't quite sure why they thought this until they dragged me into my studio and quietly counted the amount of chairs ready to be restored. They were right. I had an obsesssion with finding the worst chairs from the worst places and challenging myself to recreate beautiful furniture art or turning ugly ducklings into princesses.<br />
<br />
I must admit they were right and at present I am very fustrated as i can't go about revitalising these found chairs because of the rain and fog out here in Cabarlah. Most of them need to have the old paint stripped off them or sanded back and under coated awaiting the master painter ( my darling partner Wayne ) .<br />
<br />
soooooo its a waiting game , however the end result is always worth waiting for.<br />

The best thing about sitting for 2 hours is checking out the chairs and why some are more comfortable than others. Well i am here to educate. The first chair you sit in really is the first stage of your hair salon experience where you talk with your hairdresser, read mags and get free coffee (yah) and then its on..The bleach is on and we sit and we sit and sit. Well that chair should be more comfortable as we sit there more than the reclining chair that vibrates when we have our bleach washed off and it smells better than before. i took note that i will have to write to the top person in chairs for hair salons as it is all back to front... has any one else noticed this before. So I thought i would suggest to my lovely friend and hair dresser maybe i could create a chair for a client to sit in for a week and survey what other clients think ................................... what does everyone think of this...see photos of my experienceABOUT MEhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04960078126837087371noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3648156288771656785.post-12772296676621818272012-02-19T18:31:00.000-08:002012-02-19T18:32:50.861-08:00If Chairs could talk.....what would they say<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I purchased a couple of old chairs the other day , sat on one of them and thought to myself..if this chair could talk what would it say.??</span><br />

A passion of mine that I would like to share!! Although we may not all have the same tastes alot of us share a common thread when chairs are discussed. Whilst owning my homeware store - Lemoncello Home Studio , I started selling Homewares and quickly found that there was a need for Revamped Secondhand Furniture with Style and Individuality. Closing my shop in November opened new doors leading the way for me to find my creativity and trawl through secondhand furniture shops,markets,antique shops,dumps,and random places that i would never thought of looking for unloved chairs. This blog will have photos of my latest collections that I have created at home now to share with everyone and offer these Furniture Art pieces for sale as well as Consulting as an Interior Stylist for those looking to modernise their homes..Enjoy.ABOUT MEhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04960078126837087371noreply@blogger.com0
