At one point I could have told you what it was called, but not now. Too many years have passed.<BR/><BR/>Totally proud of your upholstery job though! It looks great! And certainly deserves to be the center of attention. <BR/><BR/>I've always loved platform rockers. So comfortable yet firm on the butt side. Makes it easier for old farts like me to get up out of them without hiring a crane!<BR/><BR/>You did good!TwiBitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15948303180311957362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7317632603483889308.post-78318457919987906372009-03-01T10:06:00.000-07:002009-03-01T10:06:00.000-07:00Fabulous!

I used to wear shorts a lot more often than I do these days, and couches/chairs with that fabric were the absolute bane of my existence. The fabric shown here, on the other hand, is almost exactly the same as that on my paternal grandparents sofa, which was one of my favorite places to hang out.
