Here is where I started. I thought the shape was fairly masculine.
The condition of the finish and the vinyl seat cover were doing this chair no favors.
There were also a few minor repairs to take care of before I got to work.
I chose a dark blue color that leans toward green. I then glazed it with a light gray and gave the entire thing a coat of dark wax.
Lincoln helped me choose the fabric for the cushion. It's a miniature chevron in a gray color. It is reminiscent of a nice man's suit.
Link says he would sit on it. :)
This gent is for sale. $60 (oh, and if a woman wants this guy, we understand. ;)
