    What an incredible experience you had, Camilla! I think fate was on your side here. The color of the chair is perfect and as you say, by finishing it at home you have a reason to continue to practice what you learned and will hopefully be inspired to carry on with other projects! Someday when the girls are giving tours of your home they will certainly be proud to point out all of the lovely restorations you lovingly worked on! You couldn’t have found a better teacher!

    Wow, your chair is looking beautiful, Camilla. I love how you just went with the fact that they sent you the beautiful pink fabric...and look how fortuitous that was!
    I did a week-end upholstery workshop quite a few years ago. I had a gorgeous old ottoman with really old fabric that definitely needed replacing. My neighbour and I both did this workshop, and unfortunately she accidentally overdid the vodka jellies at a quiz night for a fundraiser at a bar, for her children's school, so she felt unsafe driving to day 2 of the course. So she asked if she could come in my car. 🚗
    Well, the poor thing was battling throwing up 🤢 most of the day and looked so pale.
    Mid afternoon, she realised she needed a few more materials to complete her chair, so I drove her to the shop to get them.
    And that meant I didn't get to quite finish my ottoman....and to this day, it remains unfinished! 😏 Not that you can tell looking at it, but, of course, I know what needs to be done to complete it. So perhaps I ought to get on with it!
    Love Jacqueline from New Zealand

    How I enjoyed your journey into upholstery Camilla! I did a couple of courses not that long ago too and shared your excitement and the process for your chairs creation. Yes its hard work but so satisfying. The artisan here in Melbourne I did the courses with uses the line “saving the world, one chair at a time” as the chairs are always road side or vintage finds. Id love to be able to share my creation with you, pity I cant add a pic here.

    A very interesting course, and to take it in another country makes it even more worthwhile. To spend five days in that lovely city is just ideal and for us to as we follow you on your journey. This is a great skill to have. However, it will take many more chairs to get it down pat; I guess that’s what it is all about being an apprentice😊💕🌈🇨🇦

    Great job Ryan. Great clean up and trips to the tip. Now that those walls have been stripped of wall paper. Suggestion if your going to just paint walls. Go to hardware store get a product called TSP. Put in your spray bottle and wash the walls and glue off. Then prime walls. Then paint walls. Now wear goggles when cleaning with TSP. Take it f4om me who got it in her eye. Do ceilings as well.

    Well done Camilla! Annecy seems to be a lovely location to maintain health and well being. It is good to see that you are travelling and following your own interests, like Ollie is able to do. I also did a course on soft furnishing years ago but I just made a bench cushion, dining chair seat covers and covered an ottoman. I enjoyed the course very much. Other courses studied were French and Gardening but linked to my employment, I had to study for more job related exams.
