I'm thinking about using this chair in my office because I really don't want to sand it!
The ruffle is made out of drop cloth. I'm not sure I'm crazy about it. I can easily remove it because I just used a staple gun. Here it is close up...
Go check out the original at Freckled Laundry. She goes through it step by step. I also made a rosette like hers but opted to not put it on.

You are too sweet to mention my chair. This made me smile. Your chair looks great. I like the little ruffle...makes the chair a bit more feminine but then again, I'm totally biased here. ;) You should come over and link this to air your laundry Friday...it uses a textile so you're good to go.
Thank you, krista!
I like the ruffle... but it looks a little too small or something for the chair... or "in" too much... could you put it on the outside of that wood piece that it's stapled to?

I like the ruffle. Makes the chair look less "officey". Maybe a cushion would tie it all together.
Very cute! I think it's very sweet with the ruffle! I smiled when I thought of Freckled Laundry's chair. :)

I think it's adorable. Love that close up pic of the ruffle, you can see the warmth. I agree that it could be 'out' a wee bit more, but I love it! :)
I LOVE it! I've been looking for a desk chair for quite a while, and now know what I want to do. With your ruffle as is, I like where you placed it. I think that if the ruffle were more towards the edge of the seat, it would look better ironed flat.
