2012: A year in chairs

What a year it has been, looking back at 2012 takes my breath away! It's been an amazing year of rescuing destitute chairs and dressing them up for a fun new start... here's just a few of my absolute favourites from this year, some have been customer's treasures reborn, most I have scavenged along the way. All have been saved from the rubbish heap and are now dearly loved by their owners...

I often want to keep my beauties, but always find myself filling my home with the next projects in waiting! I have loads of fabulous new (old) pieces to start on for 2013... it's going to be a great year!

Happy 2013 to you too! xxx

Handmade Market success!

Handmade Market Tango and James Furniture

Handmade Market day came around yesterday... and as usual it was mad packed, though in a new upmarket venue - every one found us and shopped up a storm. This time around I had for sale more chairs than ever before! And W.O.W - what a response! Naturally the Union Jack chairs were snatched up immediately, as were the 2 floor lamps! And my stall was looking quite cleaned up by the end of the day.

This week: I've been making...

Handmade Market homewares Lighting Tango and James Furniture

These chairs have gone from drab to re-fabbed, freshly upholstered in super beautiful linen, while holding on to their retro awesome looks...

While the arm is high, it will happily slide under an overhanging table top, so they are ideal as a dining or desk chair, or for a corner in your lounge or bedroom.

I've also been working on a few more table lamps and cushions, mmm mmm velvet and linen!

And just a couple of neutrals! White with taupe and a splash of silver and chocolate...

You can get yours at Canberra's Handmade Market on March 10 and 11 at the National Convention Centre, unless they are snapped up first! For full pricing and info visit Tango & James on Facebook.

The Bentwood rocking chair

Tango and James fabric Tango and James Furniture

Salvaged, re-upholstered, styled, photographed and finally, SOLD all within 24 hours!

It was originally wearing a revolting polyester corporate green fabric (weird!!) - see the before pic below. Now freshly upholstered with my Fanpods fabric in Peacock. Beautiful.

It is a style made famous by designer, Thonet - the first appeared in 1860. I do not believe this is an authentic Thonet, however it is likely to have been produced in the late 60s - and is no less spectacular. And grateful for it's rescue!
