I had several parcels arrive today, one of which contained a set of four chairs. Now, the chairs are definitely NOT Tudor (they're Stuart, at the earliest, with really ugly white upholstery), but I'm going to use a couple of them temporarily in the castle until I get my Jacobean house going :)
I bought them in spite of the upholstery on them, in the hopes that I could perhaps recover them.
It took a little more prying than I thought to get the padding off, but in the end brute force won :)
After playing with a few different fabrics and leathers, I've chosen to cover two in a soft brown leather and two in a very pretty, tiny red pattern. Here they are!

I am loving your blog! I have an interest in making a Tudor style dollhouse but not sure where to begin! I am really enjoying reading about your construction process and have been really inspired! Thanks so much for posting!!!

Thanks so much for your comment, Elizabeth! I guess it depends how much work you want to do on the building itself. There are some great books out there with plans for Tudor houses.
ReplyDeleteYou can also take a pretty plain dolls house and customize it to look more Tudor. That sort of appeals to me ... I may do a Jacobean house, next :)
