My indoor Bristol chair

Submitted by rstieber on Thu, 09/05/2013 - 23:31

I made this chair in pine based on the plan for the Bristol outdoor lounge chair. But I changed the dimensions to fit my pillow (21"x21") and I raised the seat (increased the length of the legs by 3.5"). I modified the armrests so that they don't cover up the pillow since I didn't want to lose 7" from the seat. I plan to use this indoors at our mountain cottage. It still needs to be sanded and stained, but I'm pretty pleased with the result. I may have to make a matching ottoman next.

Great job converting the Bristol Chair for indoor use! I love the mods you made. It looks really comfortable too. Where did you find your cushions? What finish did you choose to go with that beautiful red?

Thanks! I found the cushions on Amazon. The bottom one is the Greendale square floor pillow. I haven't picked a stain yet, but maybe something oaky with some gold tones. All the furniture in the room is fairly light so I don't want to go too dark.
