Checked Wing Chairs in Shades of Blue

These guys are partners to the darling love seat from my previous post.



It never ceases to amaze me how many iterations there can be of the humble wing chair. These are rather curvy.  

From a construction viewpoint, they were just the right amount of challenge. I really like to try to mimic the lines of the upholstery as much as possible and a medium size plaid to match increased the difficulty factor a notch. 

I know the homeowner will be so happy with these chairs. The original upholstery is also a blue plaid, but more of a Williamsburg navy and cream colorway. This is still perfectly traditional but brightened and updated just enough. We used the bias cording to trim her LOVESEAT. Once the dust settles and construction is finished I'll try to update with a shot of the whole room. 

Fabric is Thibault available through Donna Katz of DK Designs.

UPDATE:
Here are a few shots of the finished room with the loveseat and chairs.
