"Antique" Armchair

So, ladies and gentlemen, I redid the armchair.

And I used a picture for reference!

This one came out sooo much better than the previous one. I am very happy with how it came out.

The first part was measuring out and cutting the pieces of wood I used. Once those pieces were cut out I glued them together. Once I had the basic wooden shape, I rounded out some of the corners and sides as best I could.

After I had the basic shape down, I cut some foam down and glued it to the back to a cushioned back. I also cut out the foam needed to make the actual cushion. Once all that was done it came time to "upholster" it, a
ka glue a bunch of fabric down.

Now, the good thing about the cloth I used is that the pattern makes it easy to blend the ends of fabric in, so even though there were some places that I had to cut and add on extra cloth, it isn't super noticeable.

While I waited for the glue to dry on the chair, I began working on putting fabric on the cushion. I went back and forth between the two as I would work on one while the other dried. I managed to make the chair in less than two days, which is nice.

I really like how this came out, and I'm contemplating making an ottoman as well.

I just don't know if the living room is large enough for it all. May need to move some furniture around because I think it would look nice.

I also need to make a couple of throw pillows to really bring it all together.

I also need to stop buying more stuff for this dollhouse otherwise I'm going to go bankrupt.
