Thanks Vanessa! I would try “library chair” in your searches, and I know you’ll make anything you find beautiful. You always do, my friend!

Thanks!

Hi Nancy, I will post an update on the chair. It behaves a lot like real leather, over time, it starts to look more natural. But also like real leather, it doesn’t sustain scratching very well (like my dog who put his claws up). I use this chair all day (work at home) so it sustains normal wear / tear perfectly. :) I hope that helps! Thanks for stopping by and commenting and good luck w/ your project.

If I’m faced with a damaged piece, my own advice would be to try paint first, with the knowledge that it might not work out and may need to be replaced anyway. I don’t often paint leather or fabric unless I think it will really look authentic. I hope this advice helps and good luck with your project!
