Today I'm sharing another finished small project, this time a 'Louis Something' chair that came as a laser cut kit from Melissa's Miniwereld, and which will find a place to live in Jane's attic. The below image shows the kit after unpacking.
I must say I like Melissa's
kits, and after having bought several of them I already became
familiar with their distinctive, sweet aroma of burned cardboard, that greets you as soon as you
open the package. It ranks high on the list of my favorite aroma's, together with petrol, coffee, burned rubber, and a few others that I really cannot discuss here.
Anyway, the kit was easily assembled, although it took me some time to digest the written instructions, but that's just me being more acquainted with Ikea and Kinder Bueno Surprise egg assembly manuals. The above pic shows the assembled chair, minus the upholstery and painting, which is at one's own discretion. Of
course at this point I could have chosen to leave the chair looking
like the seat of an old German war plane, but that would be too easy. So I
decided to work on it, making it look very nice first, then ravishing it
completely to make it suitable for the attic.
And here is the end result! I must admit that the backrest looks as if the chair was used by someone carrying a chainsaw on his back, but I guess that's the beauty of it. You may also note that one of the front legs seems to be a half millimeter shorter than the rest, but any wobbling can be easily solved using a miniature beer mat! In any case, I do hope that you like it!
Thanks for visiting, and see you next time!
