NY Good Questions: Cushions For This Chair?

1.29chair.jpgHello AT,

I'm stripping paint, refinishing, and reupholstering cushions for the attached chair that I found on the curb.

I'm wondering if anyone knows where I can get replacement supports for the cushions.

They seem to be plastic and have stretched and broken in a few places.

Also, I'd love suggestions about the stain and cushion color for the chair...

It has a nice dark wood stain under all those paint colors and I was thinking dark blue or green cushions. Thoughts?

Thanks! Jbru

I think a bright yellow would be stunning--don't know how that would fit into your decor, though! As for cushions with the yellow, I think navy would look great, or a black and white houndstooth...

Why don't you pick some material that picks up both the blue of the sofa and green of the rug.

I used this and did not purchase the ends (merely stapled) still going strong, although they aren't expensive if you want the reassurance.

This co. is really nice to work with, high quality stuff.
