I think the chair would be adorable as a swing. Make the seat into a swing and the bottom into a side table.
I like the swing idea!
È[
I was going to say a swing as well!
I just commented the same thing... 😂
Yes! This^
Kinsley walking around in the background gets me every time. She’s so cute.
Yess.... sometimes I watch videos just to see her pop in🥰🥰🥰
That tapestry is peruviaaaan! At home we had one soooo similar!!! Omg, nostalgia is coming in 3,2,1 😭 when I was a child, my grandpa told me a lot of fairytales stories based on that image!
That’s really cool that someone has a memory of a similar image.
I love your story!! One generation passing along their stories to the next. 💖
It’s insane how cheap these are sold for in Peru. Last time I went I bought one of the tapestries and some hand painted plates that I absolutely adore. I had always seen these in my family’s houses growing up 💕
Yes, they are super common on the whole andean area, from the north of Argentina to Ecuador, basicaly anywhere where you can find Quechuan culture you can find one. Those small ones are the most commons, but there are some that are like 7ft wide!
omg
i knew it!! ive been and hubby is born and raisedddd yay
I like that chair as is with the spinner, once you make the right size cushion and pillow for the back it won't look like too much going on with the wicker, you'll just see the bottom and the sides.
KEEP IT AS A CHAIR! Just take time on the cushions
As you were making the cushion, I was yelling out, "it was way too small before, make it much bigger and flatter," in the hopes that you would somehow hear me, lol. I love it as a chair. I would just make a larger cushion.
Agree. Love the hair but definitely larger flatter cushion.
I agree! Leave as is, just needs a different cushion!
Larger cushion with tassels all around.
love it as a chair as well! I'd try to make the botton cushion larger but also have a cushion for the back as well. up to you if you'd want them attached or not :)
I think the fabric shrunk when you washed it. 🤷♀️
That tapestry is an Ecuadorian wall hanging. I own the same one and I purchased it in Salasaca, a little town in Ecuador famous for their handmade wool tapestries.
Yes, i have few similar paintings from Ecuador too which i purchased from Quito during my stay there.
I'd let the chair be as is, and I would style it with a really fluffy sheepskin throw, maybe Icelandic sheep skin.
Love Your Idea! Excellent!
hi macenna for your propagations on your heart leaf philadendron make sure you cut a node and get the node in the water so it roots. a single leaf without a node won’t root. also a little direct light on the propagation is ok, like if they’re in a west window you can leave them there and especially in the winter when the days are shorter. hope this helps :) love you girl!
this is exactly what i was going to say! :)
as a plant hoarder, i noticed this right away. haha.
Came to say the same
Glad other plant people caught that too! 😂😅
Ditto!
I love that chair! I’m literally so jealous. Maybe make a base or legs for the chair and use the bottom piece as a foot stool? Make cushions for both or cover the top of the foot stool in woven cane!
YES!!! I LOVE THIS IDEA
Yes!!!!
That’s definitely an Andean/Quechua tapestry. It could be from Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia. Places that have indigenous roots in their country. I’m Ecuadorian and have Quechuan ancestry, but it could be from any of the places that I mentioned, as they have similar ancestry and culture!
came here to say this. probably woven from hand dyed alpaca
Love the chair as is. Great find. No way would I spilt it up. Too crafty.
Looks great!!! I would definitely split the chair like you were thinking. Maybe make the stool a really pretty plant stand and add some awesome legs on the top piece. And for the cushion, maybe give it to baby Kingsley for Christmas as a little bed in the car! Great job babes, as always!
I agree
Those are really good ideas!
Hi how are you doing my friend
Oh yes! This is my favourite out of the suggestions
Keep as a chair!! The swivel ones are rare. I like your idea of making it more expensive looking with a band of fabric.
I agree! As much as I love some of the other ideas, the whole swivel thing is so awesome! And as you said, a rare find!
My very soul is screaming, NOOOOOOO! to making it into 2 pieces. 😓
I agree 100%. The swivel chairs are super hard to find and it would be such a waste to take it apart. I'm all for the creative reinventing of used or broken pieces but that chair is in fantastic condition and should be kept as is. I'm sure you can find a matching rattan footstool to turn into a side table. Or a broken rattan cane chair that could use new legs. But I really wouldn't encourage people to take apart good condition vintage furniture for the sake of a thrift flip.
Maybe make a new cushion by weaving yarn to create texture or add a sheepskin/lumbar pillow.
I vote for keeping the chair, it's gorgeous the way it is! For the cushion I wonder if it would look nice tufted :)
The tapestry might be one of my favorite things you have thrifted. I LOVE it.
It made me smile & giggle seeing your dog in the intro just doing her thing...love dogs & love your videos!
Omg noooo! Keep the chair on its own! It’s so beautiful!
Agree!
👍
That chair is my dream chair! I can never find any comfortable spacious chairs like that! Btw I love your videos!! 💞
Yeah that's the best one. I would actually love it as a computer desk chair since it swivels :)
I think the top of the chair would make a great dog bed!
If she does separate a dig bed from the top and a round lazy Susan coffee table! I would also do my best to keep things as simple as possible so it could go back to the original chair. Just in case! Its completely doable if she goes with this idea.
The Tapestry looks great ❤️ I'd keep the chair together and remake the cushion x
The tapestry looks like an image from a town in Peru.
Or Equador
Yes, for the lama
Came here to say this!
Beautiful baby's
Definitively from the Andes: Chie, Perú, Bolivia, Ecuador. Is a very popular tapestry made out of alpaca or llama wool
As a peruvian, my heart sang when I saw the tapestry in the thumbnail 💕💕
Last year I got a very similar chair from an old woman on marketplace she sold it to me for 5 or 10 dollars I think and the cushion was horrendous so I swapped it for a neutral coloured ikea one. She told me that it’s real wicker and originally cost over $200 and I definitely believe that. It’s such a gem and everyone who comes over always thinks that chair has such a warm boho vibe 🤗
The tapestry is Peruvian!! 🇵🇪 I got so excited when I saw it, loove the frame you made for it! 😍🥰
yes!! 1.99 is such a great deal!!
Thanks for the info! I could tell it was andean for sure, the alpaca/llama, the hats, the clothes, the colors, the mountain peaks...! I've never seen one done with that technique though! It's very pretty! I have a tapestry I thrifted at home though, and I can't really tell where it's from, not even sure about the general area... my guess is Mexico or somewhere in Meso America, but I could be completely wrong!! xD It really kills me not to know...! lol
I did too! I knew it was from Peru right away from the alpacas haha
@@nataliegayoso how do you know this could be Ecuador or Bolivia as well.
the trapestry a is San Pedro de Cajas style from Peru color style an weabing technique!
I love wicker chairs with just a textured throw and lumbar pillow, no cushion.
Kinsley's little head popping up in sections of the video is the cutest thing ever, I'm in love 🥰
Kinsley jumping on the couch out of nowhere made me laugh so hard I love it 😂🥰
Use a hair straightener on the corner of the tapestry maybe ? I love the chair but the curtain circles in vases look good too 😁
We need to have a video starring Kinsley 🥺❤
New cushion with the band!!!!
Yeeeees to coffee table!!!!
Change the wrapping that keeps it all together to a black or contrasting color. Can't wait!!!!
The tapestry is from Cusco, Peru. I'm so hyped to see this. I'm Peruvian so I feel so proud 🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪
I love the chair, 🤍🤍 just make a bigger cushion and backrest.
Please keep it in one piece as a chair, a few adjustments to size of the cushion and it will be beautiful!!💕
I absolutely love her dog's portrait in the background! So wholesome
The wood rings go over a wood rod that rests on the brackets. The little metal ring is where you would hook the curtain. The hooks in themselves actually slip into creases at the top of the curtain. Kind of like a large square paper clip. One end hooks through the the little loop on the ring and the other fastens into the curtain pleat. It's the kind of curtain rod my grandparents had in the 80s. I think we were all happy for the birth of more modern versions!
This kind of rod would be great today in a cottage.
The cushion is smaller because the chair had that other cushion for the back.
I’m so excited for this!! You are my biggest inspiration when it comes to home decor ❤️
love the coffee table idea!!!
Yea gurl!! Turn it into a table and a chair!!! Such a great idea!!
I've never been this early to an upload! Australian timezones ruin everything ahaha I'm so excited though!! love your content xx
That chair is soooo cool! I gasped 😍
That tapestry brings in some color. I'm here for it!
Besides the amazing decor style and ideas, I absolutely love how kind and loving she is to Kinsley :)
I would definitely keep the chair as a whole piece. I would just make a back cushion similar to the one it already came with.
Omg the tapestry made me so happy!! I am from Ecuador and it brought back so many feels! I am going to see if my parents have any tapestry’s I could frame.
I love the idea of two different pieces!!
OMG that wall hanging 😍😍😍
My favourite find of the year: your channel! I love all your videos, filled with inspirational thrifting and DIY ideas. Thank you 🙏🏽😊 , have a good Christmas !!! 🎄🎄🎄
use the cushion for the "footstool" so that it doubles as a seat as well. Maybe attach the cushion to the stool with bands that clip on or attach via velcro
Your thrift videos are my absolute fave!
Leave it as a chair! its so beautiful, thats my dream thrift find! I think a bigger flatter cushion would look great. You can even get 2-3" thick foam and plywood in the correct size and shape and upholster it. It will look much more professional that way.
the baking soda thing is too good not to do it often, honestly. its magic
Watching on my lunch break from Edmonton AB Canada. I love thrifting, and thrift flips. Happy Holidays.
I’m in St Albert🤣😂
Yes ! Trift flip !!!!!!
Loved all the flips
When we finish wool hookrugs we "block" then using damp towel and and iron to set them square and straight.
This tapestry is from the beautiful country Peru, south America.
This could be from Ecuador or Bolivia as well.
I appreciate all of your ideas, DIY's! Merry Christmas!
You are so creative and I love these flips! You're really helping get back in touch with being creative, so thank you! ❤
KEEP THE CHAIR!! Those are next to impossible to find in my area!
Wow amazing find on the tapestry! Where I am that would be taken in a second! I have a handmade bag that looks kind of like this 🙂
I wouldn't change the chair. It is so perfect already!
I always love your thrift flips, but I love that you turned this into a Q&A too!
Love the tapestry - what a find. Keep showing us all of your great ideas with Kinsley.
Where did you get your sweatshirt? Really cute.
Well what can I say???? Well done again. Everything perfect. Love the rug into a picture and looking forward to see what you are going to do with chair. Keep safe and enjoy. xxx Lenna uk
Never would have thought of taking the chair apart but you have the vision! Love that idea!
OMG! I loved the chair so much!
It’s from Peru!!! The highland! I am Peruvian. OMG I love that chair! Maybe a chair and ottoman!? It’s gorgeous!
Loveeee!
Definitely go with transforming it into a new chair with a footstool! 🙌🏾❤️
The chair is gorgeous as it is! A new cushion with a band will be perfect
Happy and blessed christmas!!!
So unfair that chair would never be found in a thrift store here 😭
Check your marketplace. I live in a pretty small town and I've recently seen a lot more listed. I think people get them cheap in thrift stores, and sale them for more now that boho is such a huge deal.
eBay or Facebook marketplace have lots of choice re old chairs & footstools on wicker or cane.
Make the chair a separate hanging chair believe me it will look dope 😘👍
Absolutely love this idea!!!
I think the chair with new legs & the bottom as a coffee table with a round wooden top would look so cute ❤️
That tapestry is AH-MAZING!!!
i want the chair so bad 😭 i can never find furniture:(
Use the top of the chair and make a swing or hanging chair! :D
Love separating the two!
The base of the chair could make a really awesome plant stand. Love the idea of the chair top with metal legs of some kind
I think you should turn over the bottom and put in the pillow as a bed for the doggie. Then , put on some tapered legs on the chair; sort of mid-century/boho vibe. Glad you bought it!
I’m soooooooooo in love with the vases! And I was so in need of a thrift flip!!!!! Thank you! Lol
Definitely make the chair a set! Such a good idea 😊
I love the idea of the chair becoming its own new chair with new legs and then a little side table! So cute! Can’t wait to see what you do with it!!
Love the idea of the chair with new legs and matching table. Also like the idea of turning the top into a swing.
Have a safe blessed holiday season 🙏🏾
Merry Christmas !!!!
That chair is a mega find!!!!! I love it 😻
Your diys are so approachable and inspiring. Thank you!
Chair and foot stool would look so cute! I love this idea
I love your energy 😘😘
Def keep it as a chair!!
DIY queen!
🌻🌻🌻
Omgosh that chair is lovely!!!
I loved the style of this video.. common questions with thrift flips!
The tapestry is beautiful and came out so so good
Yes! Chair with new legs and a footstool with a cushion on it!
Love the tapestry. You find great stuff.
I like the idea of new legs for the chair and making a side table...spray painting and making a new cushion with the band and piping. There are so many ways to go with paint color and fabric. It could actually be pretty spectacular.
I clicked on the video when I saw that tapestry on the thumbnail, I'm from Peru and this gives me so much nostalgia. My parents have a similar one hanging in the terrace. So beautiful!
