ReChair



Out with the old and in with the new. This chair is very similar to the sleepy rustic recliners we have in our house in Dorset, Vermont. I found the rustic blood red leather at Salvation Army for $3.50 and fitted over an old couch cushion foam that was "cut to size". I cut it large so that when you sat in the chair it would be a complete concave, hugging the backside and curling the support up the thighs making this chair ideal for sitting back and putting your feet up. I have to say, it works great! The loose design of the leather puts little pressure on the seams but in turn tends you wear the leather in the pattern of folds. The chair folds differently depending on who is sitting in it. Basically, the more you sit in it the better it feels.
