This chair was $35 at a thrift store in SLC. I lived in NYC at the time and didn't think I could get it home. It was covered in yellow vinyl. My mom bought it, drove it to California, reupholstered it herself, and freighted it to Brooklyn as a gift. So nice.
You might have the best Mom ever!

Fabulous chair! Your mom did a fantastic job on the upholstery. I love your blog, your design/illustration work. Brilliant.
P.S. I'm a friend of Jen Mosinski's, she told me that I would love your blog, and I do!
