We finally got the remaining furniture out of storage, and we finally got the two chairs that constituted much of the remaining storage back from the upholsterer.  This beauty here was the gold pressed vinyl arm chair next to the organ in my Grandmother’s house.  When it came to our apartment long ago, the cats loved it so much (that is, loved the pop their claws made in the vinyl) that we ended up calling it the sacrificial chair.

Now it’s back by the organ wearing my custom designed fabric.  This scarab and lotus pattern worked out so well I have made it available for others to enjoy on Spoonflower.  I think I will add some more seamless patterns after I give them another round of editing.  I paired the print with a pseudo suede solid for the bits that would get the most wear, and Walt’s Upholstery did a fabulous job of putting it all together.  He was a joy to work with!
