UNIQUE CHAIR DESIGN








MY STORY

Chair Chicks Story

Peggy Kneen, The Chair Chick

I love to rescue chairs! As a chair stylist, I believe that even a preloved chair can enjoy a second life. A makeover for your chair begins with FUN; a playful use of bright colors, mixed prints, and creative upholstery techniques.

Did you know that chairs have personality? Stripped down to the bare frame, cleaned and repaired, their unique characteristics are revealed and metamorphous begins with the careful selection of paint color, fabrics, and trim. The style and size of each chair is considered as it is transformed from a landfill lady to a showstopper focal point in your home.

My love of reading, curiosity, and background as a teacher prompted me to seek out the unique history of each chair. Not where it was made or the type of wood that was used, but a weaving of its story; it's owners, where and how it was purchased and used, and how I discovered it.

Each chair comes with a snippet of its story and a fabric swatch. Are you ready to create its next chapter?

Click To See My Story! The beginning . . . I lived with the same family for many years and had a good life. I had a warm shelter and a place to belong. I had a big personality but even as a young chair, I had a grandmotherly look! I became outdated and was seen as old and replaceable. I was passed around from house to house and spent my days and years in back bedrooms, dry basements, dusty attics, and crowded garages. It was my lucky day when the ChairChick adopted me and changed my life. Coco Chanel said it best: “In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different.” I think I look classy and fabulous!

Click To See My Story! My sister and I have spent the last 40 odd years with two original hippies, Lovelee and Charlie. When Lovelee changed her hair color she also changed our upholstery, one layer on top of another. We were cool man! When Lovelee and Charlie spilt we were left behind. Total Bummer! But our story has a happy ending because we were taken in by a secret flower child. Since then we've been striped naked, cleaned, sanded, repainted and given a whole new look! We've changed, but we are still... “Feeling Groovy”.

Click To See My Story! I got kicked out of a bank once after sitting around for 50 plus years. I once held a place of distinction for many years. in the financial manager’s office. I thought I was top dog! I saw a lot of people come and go! Next stop was the bank lobby where I spent many years with a great view of the drive through. After that I was abandoned and stacked in an unused space until being sold at an auction along with 4 of my colleagues. But look at me now! I have been reborn as a drag queen. Leopard print, floral,and buffalo check dress up my look and I am ready to have the time of my life!

Click To See My Story! My Second Life
I bet it is hard for you to imagine that I was the favorite morning chair of a little old lady that loved coffee and bird watching. After she passed it was too hard for her husband to see the empty chair day after day. So I was sold to a creative woman that gave me a new fresh look and new life. I left behind my avocado green garment and gained a sassy navy and orange look! I have many fond memories of the old woman, but my life is bright and fun. I can't wait to see who will find comfort in my new look!

Click To See My Story! By now the ChairChick was known around the block and she was getting calls to rescue chairs that owners no longer wanted. You guessed it; I just happened to be in that group. I have learned that many of us unwanted chairs feel unloved. We become old and just don’t fit with the present decor. I am perhaps a bit different from the other chairs because I am not old. I was purchased recently by a middle aged gentleman that seemed to take an instant dislike to me the minute I arrived in his office. His home and family were beautiful, but our different personalities were just not going to work together. Thankfully I was rescued by the Chair Chick and she gave me a new watercolor updo and the potential for a new home! I am ready for chapter 2!

Click To See My Story! Sixty four years ago, my identical twin brother and I were a special wedding gift for a young couple that made their home in Ann Arbor Michigan. For a couple of years we were the only comfortable chairs in the house so we got a lot of use for coffee, cocktails, many fireside chats and a few arguments. Four children followed and we got lots of use and some abuse over 25 years. But what fun we had with those kids! The years flew by and kids had kids and my brother and I withstood the test of time. Sadly the couple died after a 64 year marriage. We were sold at an estate sale and bought by an event planner. One of the events was at the Rose Theater in Chelsea Michigan. The theater wanted to keep my brother and I for an upcoming performance! We were so excited to be on stage, and with the famous Jeff Daniels! What fun we had!
Once our stage career was over we were sold to the Chair Chick that took us in and made repairs, and gave us a whole new look! I love my new red and khaki animal print! Isn't life interesting!

Click To See My Story! Not much is known about my early life. I like to think that I was well loved by someone, but all I can remember is that I was passed around from place to place never really finding a spot to call home. Then one day, the Chair Chick found me outside an apartment complex by the dumpster. She took me home and had me start trying on different outfits until I found just the one I wanted! I love my new bright, beachy outfit and I feel so young! Can't wait to find my new home!
