I can just imagine someone sitting on it and snagging their clothing with the exposed staples. As for your deconstructed chair, it is quite lovely "as is"...acting as a piece of art. But I'm sure it'll look wonderful with the pink linen too!Connie @ Connie Nikiforoff Designshttp://www.cndesigns.biznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-214749393367392928.post-45092877320436093312012-02-20T10:02:10.366-05:002012-02-20T10:02:10.366-05:00I do not like the look of the staples, tacs would ...I do not like the look of the staples, tacs would be much better! I would glue on some trim and finish it that way, the fabric is beautiful. <br /><br />It is a very messy job deconstructing chairs, I usually leave it if it's in good condition, but that's not always possible. I think a pale pink would be perfect for that chair.Bridget @ The Rehab Boutiquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12362130130519917997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-214749393367392928.post-14090715871093480902012-02-19T19:06:04.652-05:002012-02-19T19:06:04.652-05:00Hi Amy...
