I bought this pair of French chairs at an auction almost a year ago.  I had fallen in love with them and they had to be mine.  I was willing to pay about $100 for the pair, but ended up walking away with them for $20.  Of course, they were orange.  I guess other people just couldn’t see beyond that.  I originally made slipcovers for them, but they looked so sloppy after someone sat on them.  After slipcovering my sofa in the living room this week, I had a “bee in my bonnet” to do something with these chairs.  So, I browsed through my upholstery books, took a deep breath, and started ripping away the orange fabric.  I didn’t want to take this chair totally down to the frame, so I worked section by section to make sure I didn’t get overwhelmed.  I bet most of you can guess what
