Houndstooth Club Chairs

These two desperately need a stint in rehab.



Top quality, but very dated with chintz upholstery that was surely the envy of all the neighbors in 1986. My customers have recently moved in to a beautiful new home with a southern-traditional vibe. These chairs are set to occupy a charming little nook in their kitchen. She spied this red & white cotton houndstooth and was instantly smitten.

And some pictures in their home...



The fabric is "Square Pegs" by Robert Allen Designs. It's quite heavy and my serger hated it, but it hugs the furniture beautifully. Happy ending!

  1. I LOVE houndstooth. That pattern looks perfect for those chairs. I like the updated skirt, too. Lovely work as always, Pam.
