I began this project here. It has been fun and challenging and it has gone much, much slower than I thought! But when I was beginning to feel discouraged I came across this post by Melissa .
It was so inspiring and great comments by Layla.
That was all I needed to keep me trudging along. So I finished the upholstery part of ONE chair today.
This is without the "t" shaped box chair pad that I worked on for 6 hours last Saturday. Once I finished I put it on and it just looked not right. My next step is to go back and redo that.
Below is picture of what it looks like without a skirt. This is how hubby prefers it.
Here is a pic with the skirt (unhemmed and pinned on). I love how it looks!
Which do you prefer? With or without the skirt? Remember none of the pictures have the chair pad pictured, so it is a bit unproportioned.

i vote no skirt. it looks cleaner and will make the room feel bigger. do frilly things with the pillows. the feet of the chair are so nice and classic.
I am plain and simple so for my tastes I say no skirt. You have a very quiet elegance in your home that I adore. The skirt may draw attention away from the many other beautiful details in the room.
his & her is my vote!!
thank you for the shout-out! You are doing great! I love the chair and I vote skirt. I love how clean, crisp, and new it is looking!
Jen,
The chair looks fabulous! I'm a pretty plain Jane, so I would probably vote with Mark, but the other would be darling too.

I found you on TCB where you left a sweet comment about my blog. I love what you did! I have done a slipcover and a reupholster on 2 chairs I have and it does teach you alot! I love the skirt! I think it adds an extra detail of pretty! If you visit my blog again look at my 'Before and After' post, it will show the chairs I did. I would like to follow you, but I don't see where I can add you? Are you LDS as well? I am too and it is always nice to meet other members! Have a great day and can't wait to see the final result! Make sure you entered the giveaway on my blog if you haven't already. :)
Hugs,
