the evolution of a chair

see below for 4th of July post...

Yesterday's adventure was recovering the chair pads on the dining room chairs. As I pulled off the accumulated layers of fabric, I felt like I was taking a trip back in time. Can anyone identify the decade of each? I'm curious!

I LOVE the fabric YOU put on. Really smart and it still "goes" with the chair design, too.

I say the green is 90's, the blue is 80's, and the red/cream is 70's.

I don't know...the orang-y one could be 60's.

I just didn't know how old the chairs were -- so it was hard to know in what decade to start. I'll got with 60's on the first one.

Wow! How funny that all the old fabric was still there. I bet Gramma will get a kick out of this. I'll have to try to get her online to see the pictures.
Obviously the only fabric I remember is the teal...and that could have been on there for the better part of 20 years!

Ok - Gramma is here at my house and I have shown her this post! She says the striped "nubby" fabric was from the early 50's...and before Jenny was born!! The white and aqua is early 70's ('71 or '72) and the dark aqua is from the late '80's.
THEN Gramma says the fabric Erin put on resembles the print that she had on a similar chair and it was from sometime in the '70's. =)
