I had some navy striped ticking fabric for a while and every time I looked at it
I preferred the reverse size.
It had a great vintage look and when I was ready to upholster
this chair I jumped in with both feet and went with the under
side showing. When upholstering with a striped fabric you
must be a little more cautious and aware of where the pattern
is laying. Be sure to center the top and bottom, and try to
match up the lines on the seat with the back. You have to
keep your fabric taught but not distort the stripes. It's not
hard, you just have to keep double checking where things are.
The frame was a dark mahogany color before I spray painted
it in a creamy white mix of ASCP Old white & Pure
edge and hides the staples.
