Another case of unwitting destruction of a high-quality, period, hand-crafted hardwood-frame, mid-century (prized by educated collectors) French Provincial slipper chair's c. late 1940's - early 1960's boudoir artifact legacy. Wrecked are its original masterfully complex finish, for neither good reason nor end. You would have been better off simply reupholstering it -- the tufting alone is labor intensive, too – with eg. new piping or carry-over fancy fabric accents inserts on lip and back.
Someone who would comment negatively is usually jealous of your talent if they are as or more talented then why are they not filling their time with their own project? Obviously they have time to waste insulting instead of producing.
Nice job and I'm sure you got an A+, if not you deserved one.
It's an awesome chair,I happen to think it was great either way, even as it was, old stuff is my thing but that said, it's Your chair, you style your, your choice. You did a great job now ENjOY!
@HUETOOB I don't like it and I commented quite negatively, I'm not jealous, It just annoys me so much that this person could ruin such a lovely antique. I did say they were talented to be fair... but they ought to work with argos furniture, not antiques.
@takemondu: You said it aptly -- read my comment above; these poor kids .... obviously have idiotic ill-informed teachers .... who should be arrested for design felonies; another, serious mid-century quality piece destroyed unwittingly: outrageous. The kid brags that he got it in school for free -- WTF .. talk about blowing a free-lunch ... learn over these next twenty years ... with hope how to meticulously remove that nasty paint and reupholster it, tufted; as recommended above!
THIS WAS AMMMMAAAAAAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!! The chair was awesome and i totally get why you modernized it! the video was pure art! and the music was totally on pointe! Incredible, so creative, completely sexy! Epic WIN!
the chair looks awesome! to each his own... the people who get so upset about the way you redid it need to re-evaluate what is important in their lives. we don't all want to live in a museum.

i like the style of the video, very good, must have taken ages. But the actual end result is hideous, but everyone have different tastes I suppose. Nice video though dude

Why would you take a chair,instead of restoring it, put plywood,foam rubber and the ugliest upholstery from the 1960's on it? It should have been refinished,done properly in leather, or back to original velvet. No,you had to remove everything,paint it blue and add green based and matches nothing. Someday someone will get it from a yard sale, reupholster it correctly,while insulting the idiot who almost ruined a good chair.
I admire your skills as an upholsterer,but think about what your doing.
First off let me just say thank you for watching my video. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and everyone is entited to their own style. I happen to like how I transformed this chair. It goes much better with my home now than it did. I don't live in an old victorian home and a tufted velvet chair doesn't really appeal to me, so I decided to redo this one in a different way. Like it says in the description I did this for a school project and the chair was free.
I am also curious as to why you would insult someone you have never met especially about something that has nothing to do with you. Do you walk around in public telling random people that you don't like their outfits. I didn't do this chair for you so don't take it so personally
@1217designs I think there are lovers of antiques posting who find it in bad taste and sacrilegious to transform a character piece so far from it's traditional roots.
I personally enjoyed seeing the transformation, the design was so dramatic and unpredictable. When it comes to interior designing you should be creative.
@1217designs Great video! I've never met you, but I'd like to compliment your style. I bet this course wasn't easy and you went over the top! I bet your instructor was impressed.
You are an idiot. The fabric is an exclusive for Hancock fabrics. It was created by Laurie from trading spaces. I, in fact, think it is an awesome print. I've been searching for it forever only to find out it is discontinued: ( Brava to the person who did this chair. I love it!!
@murrykiki I agree with you, LOL! People have no taste now a days. They'd rather throw away something classy and regal and replace it with something that looks like the argos furniture.
Wow, that was... really awesome! I never knew reupholstering could be so dramatic. Your chair is pretty awesome looking, and the editing for the video was great. Worth all of the work you put into it, I think.
excellent video, chair is gorgeous too.

You are very talented, but I would NEVER let you touch my furniture nor would I ever give you my antiques for free.
That new chair is awful, it's nice to see how talented you are, but seriously?!!!!!!
