I love pieces that have and tell a story. Many years ago when my mothers parents passed away, I was the recipient of 2 green velvet chairs. My mother had given them to her parents for their anniversary. They were in my home for a few years, but because of their age, they were starting to fall apart. Sadly they have been in my garage for over 20 years. The seat had completely fallen apart and needed to be rebuilt. A friend of mine had just the right tools and was able to take care of that for me. (thanks Cat!) When they were finished, dressed in fresh, new fabric...I LOVED them!! I am so disappointed that they spent so many years in the garage, but I am grateful to have them in my family room now. I have two beautiful daughters and they will each have one of the chairs someday. I am confident that they will find a place for them in their homes. ;)
