I've wanted to make an Art Deco chair for sometime, however it wasn't until I received a little gift contained in an Ice Cream Cup that it dawned on me ~ this little cup would make the perfect base for my chair.
The base will be covered with this velvet trim, once it arrives from Germany, and the legs will be gilded with gold leaf.
Such a fantastic idea! The chair already looks great and with golden elements it will be simply dreamy!
ReplyDeleteI thought so Chiriann, and I thank you for your kindness, but I'm not completely happy with this one, so I'll make another. They say practice makes perfect!
DeleteOh wow, that trim is gorgeous; the whole thing will look fantastic once it comes together. I wouldn't decorate my house in Art Deco, but I love the style.
ReplyDeleteYes, it's just a pity she's taking so long to post the darn thing! I only needed a metre but ordered two, which was $8 but the postage was $15.40, so it's become an expensive exercise. I love the style too and would be happy to live in house decorated this way, just in another colour. LOL!
DeleteYou are very clever, it looks great!
ReplyDeleteThank you Mia. I don't know about that, but I was inspired. You could easily have come up with this yourself. 😊
DeleteThank you Linda. Yes, I chose it because it had that Art Deco feel and the colours looked right. However, it's been a week and it's still not been sent. ðŸ˜
ReplyDeleteLooking good already. You chose wonderful trim. I hope it will arrive soon.
ReplyDeleteThank you Joanna. I thought so, but the longer I wait I begin to wish I'd chosen something else. I'm still waiting for it to be posted.
DeleteOkay, you are super creative. I would never have thought of this. So interesting how you could turn a simple ice cream cup into an art deco chair and it looks AMAZING. Wow, hats off to you.
ReplyDeleteThank you Alasse, sometimes I have lightbulb moments. LOL! It's fun to recycle things and give them a new purpose.
