This great chair was waiting for me to desperately snap it up. It's surely an antique, as, get this- the cushions are stuffed with HAY. HAY, as in HORSES. Crazy huh?

Dismantling today took about 6 hours! I loved every minute of it.
I plan to paint it white, and cover the seat, back, and hand cushions in the same tweed as our headboard. Here are some ideas from Pottery Barn, and below, photos of the first half of this project:
