This chair is like the Gwen Stefani of chairs. Totally hip and funky, but a little bit chewed up and spit out by recent life events. (AKA a philandering husband who according to reports is like the sleaziest jerk of all time, which is a big bummer, because I used to like his music and now I can’t even stand to listen to his sleazy voice, ugh). (That’s Gwen’s life, at least, I don’t know who did this chair wrong).
BUT WAIT! Who is this galloping into town? A new love interest? A swaggering cowboy to sweep her off her feet and make her feel shiny and new again? Someone who rounds out her rock and roll edges with his tender country charms?
I mean, right??? (This might only make sense to you if you are following the Gwen Stefani/Blake Shelton/Gavin Rossdale love triangle as breathlessly as I am).
Cow print and chrome? Is it a match made in heaven? Time will tell, but for now it sure looks fun.

February 12, 2016 at 12:04 PMThis is amazing! That after looks so high end. And what happened to the cushion in the before? It’s so… deflated.

February 18, 2016 at 8:45 AMHi Janet, Back-in-the-day, small chairs were stuffed with Kapok, a cotton-like fiber from the Kapok tree. Many older, larger chairs, but probably not this one, were stuffed with horsehair. Horse hair is springy and durable (my 19070’s MBZ had horsehair stuffing in the seats) but is rather expensive and does breakdown eventually. This is why the chair looked deflated on one side – the fibrous stuffing “leaked out” a hole then everything went to pot after that.
