What's Old Is New Again....

Can you guess what this project is about?
Yes I am going to add nailhead trim to it (5 years in the making) told ya it was an old one.
This is the back of the chair.

Hello out there, I know I have so many unfinished projects. Why then am I starting another one. Well truth be told this one is one of the oldest I just thought it was time.This chair I purchased way back when, It started out life as a brown chair with green fabric(sorry no before pictures) I wanted it to use at my desk in the master bedroom, It's still in the master but now only as a side chair. I painted and faux finished it and put the fabrics that match the master ( will talk about in another post). I soon hope to have the nailhead trim on. well be back with the after pictures.

Thank you for stopping by.
