Chairs in Lincoln, NE

Make-do chairs were originally created not because of their looks, but because they served a purpose - to keep the person sitting warm from the drafts that many older homes and fireplaces had. Their history dates back to the 18th century when the "wing back" chair was first invented. While some people could acquire the newly styled chair, many people could not, so they would "make-do" with what they had, and built their own from an chair by adding a high back and sides from whatever scraps of wood were available, and covered it with whatever fabric or quilts they had laying around. I hand-craft each chair, so no two are alike. Why store Grandma's quilt? Let me make you a chair to use and be proud of!
