THIS CHAIR "ROCKS'!!!..Literally.. it is called a "Dexter" chair and it has 3 springs at the back of the base. The chair bounces gently as you snuggle up on the blanket covered seat with your favourite book. These are very popular pieces of furniture. I wish I could find lots more...but they are hard to find. Originally from around 1930...there are two styles with various arm designs. There is a "Male" Dexter which has higher arms and a head rest. The "Female" Dexter..has smaller arms because women used to sit in them and knit.
This is a wonderful Bi-product of what we do. This Pear shaped doorstop is made up of the left overs from "Resurekting" the furniture. The body of the pear is made up from the cushion covers from the 1970's couches. The stem and leaf are made from the left over vinyl from old stool seats. They are then filled to give them some weight and they work perfectly.
This brightly coloured stool is covered in a reclaimed 1970's curtain. The chair is adjustable and swivels.
Today was a dark and stormy day in Launceston...but that doesn't seem to deter people from coming into the shop. I met some very interesting people today and they are loving what we are doing , which is really nice. The positivity keeps the imagination and creativity flowing. I had a few return customers who bought another piece for their collections. Thank you to everybody for their wonderful support. We have now been open for only 6 weeks and a lot of our pieces are walking out the door. Onward and upward...Lots more to come.
