The old office chair

Not long ago I did a makeover on a spare bedroom, converting it into a home office. It was a job that was long overdue and kept on the long finger for some time. Now, it’s one of my favourite rooms in the house both to work in and just to be in for the great views and calm surroundings. In addition to a work desk, there is also a small console table for the kids when they are on the PC. However, the office chair to accompany the desk is quite old but still very comfortable. It seems a shame to just throw it out because of a room makeover.

I decided it could stay for the moment, provided it didn’t look too out of place after a reupholster session.Of course, this job was also left on the long finger and the battered old office chair was left in the new office, sticking out like a sore thumb. There were regular excuses as to when and why it wasn’t sorted but the chair stayed as it was and where it was, for some time .

Reupholstered & repaired furniture in County Cork by The Upcycler

Of course, this job was also left on the long finger and the battered old office chair was left in the new office, sticking out like a sore thumb. There were regular excuses as to when and why it wasn’t sorted but the chair stayed as it was and where it was, for some time. Luckily enough, I had called into Vibes & Scribes in Cork City https://www.vibesandscribes.ie/fabric/ earlier in the month, under the pretence of pushing the project on a bit further.There was a large selection to choose from but I didn’t want anything too twee. I think The Force called me over to one corner and there it was, a square meter of Star Wars fabric, perfect . I suppose all in all it only took an hour or so to do, after only a few months preparation ! However, even though the chair is not in line completely with the new scheme, it is a really quirky addition to the home office .
