I knew someone was going to comment on that slipper chair! I still feel like it’s a slipper, because the arms are so low and small. Ideally, a slipper chair is unique
because it can move around the room easily, and this one surely can! Happy Thanksgiving, and thanks for your comment:)

I love your blog, and I enjoy knowing the names for things also. To wit, the first chair is not actually a slipper chair: A slipper chair has no arms. Thx!

Thank you so much for the information!! Are you sure that the French Open chair is a white muslin? The Louis XVI looks like white muslin…

Thanks again!!

The Barrel Back Club is just a knobby linen, and the French Open arm chair is a white muslin. You can find these fabrics at most fabric or even dressmaking fabric
retailers. When you select fabrics like these, try not to select those that have a yellow hue. Best to choose something white or grey for best neutrality and flexibility.

Hi There!

Let me start by saying that I love, Love, LOVE your blog! It’s my go-to spot when I have a quite moment to myself…

Could you tell me the type of fabric that was used to upholster the Barrel Back Club and the French Open Arm chairs? I’ve been trying to locate a vintage blue in the same fabric but have NO idea what type of fabric it is!

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks!
Monique
