THE FUN IN THE FIND: VINTAGE, MODERN AND DESIGNER'S CHAIRS

Dear All

We are making beautiful furniture from vintage, recycled woods.  We enjoy it.  We love it.  Still,  nothing beats the thrill of finding genuine vintage or designer's pieces at the most unlikely places, amongst the junks, amidst the dust. 

Great fun too, to have them restored  and /or  reupholstered, reviving them in form to either reflect the spirit of the age or to creatively reinterpret them by giving a new meaning  to the past. That's what we are doing at SECOND CHARM.  It makes us feel like we have one of the most fun jobs in the world.

We share with you our finds of the day. Mostly chairs this time.  But what a find. We screamed with joy at the vintage midcentury modern chairs, the retro armchairs, the designer's lounge chairs, some beautifully crafted modern chairs, french armchairs, shaker style chairs, bentwood chairs and wrought iron chairs.

Hope you love them as we do.
