Four chairs get the Cinderella treatment
I worked crazy hard on this chair makeover story, and really couldn't be prouder of the results. For those of you who don't get the magazine, here is the quick version.
I got these four chairs at Once Again, on Ottawa Street in Hamilton. (For those of you who don't know the Ottawa Street neighbourhood in Hamilton, ON, it's a total gem of a street. Perfect for a weekend of treasure hunting. The likes of design superstar Brian Gluckstein has been spotted there scoring deals on fabric!).
My idea was to get four design personalities to makeover a chair for me. I got Tommy Smyth, also known as Sarah Richardson's sidekick; Arren Williams, who, if you don't know him, used to have my job here at Chatelaine years and years ago and now has a really fun design blog; Candice Olson who is just all around fabulous and has a great new show called Candice Tells all on W Network; and Jeffrey & Deborah Fisher, who are super talented designers and rumour tells me are soon to launch some gorgeous affordable bedding here in Canada, but I can't tell you any more than that.
