    tara-and-percy

    Jersey Ice Cream Co was founded in the summer of 2010. Two kids in love found an old embossing stamp at a flea market, dreamed up a design empire, and then set to work trying to create it. Today Tara Mangini and Percy Bright spend their time moving house to house, job to job, leaving beautiful homes in their wake. They believe in craftsmanship, timelessness, and leaving things better than they found them. They do not make ice cream, but will happily have some if you’re offering.

CANE CHAIR MAKEOVER

February 20, 2013 by Percy Bright Leave a Comment

We were contacted a couple weeks ago to do some work for a coffee shop opening up near Cold Spring in upstate NY. In addition to building out the bar with reclaimed hemlock joists and old scaffolding planks (photos hopefully upcoming! but you know us), we managed to squeeze in a couple chair makeovers.

Formerly sat upon at Daily Press in Bed Stuy (for which we also did some work before they opened a couple years ago), these two chairs were on their way to the dumpster because of their damaged caning. (We neglected to take before photos, as usual!) Replacing the caning would’ve taken more time than we had, and been more boring then we wanted, so we decided to cut the old stuff out and fit some reclaimed barn wood to the gorgeous shape left in its wake. The results were even better than expected! They have a vague animal-hide look about them that we just love, plus they’re vegan friendly. Sustainable. Gluten-free.

Ten beautiful seating options from our man in Connecticut:
Dimensions and pricing after the jump!

This mid-century modern Italian lounge chair features gorgeous lines and wood-and-metal construction. It measures roughly 36 inches tall, 24 wide, and 32 deep. A few very minor scuffs on the arms and legs.  $325.

This Sherrill arm chair is wrapped in beautiful chartreuse patent leather. It needs some attention at its seams but is in otherwise flawless shape; no tears. $150.
On to the stools!
The two adjustable square-top stools (left and center) measure 15 inches across and 17-25 inches tall. $70 each, $120 for the pair.
The formerly-adjustable stool at right (it’s lost its extendable legs) measures 15 inches across and 23 inches tall. $60.
Oh what a top! This oil-soaked-wood beauty with Scovill green base measures roughly 14 inches across, 13 deep, and 26 tall as pictured, but can be adjusted about two inches higher or four inches lower. $95. 
This unique black splay-legged stool measures 30 inches tall and 13 inches across its top. $90.
The grey guy on the left measures 13 inches across its top and can adjust from about 24 to 30 inches tall. $60.
The rusty-backed fellow in the middle measures 13 inches across its top and anywhere from 23 to 27 inches tall (plus 13 more to account for the back). $110.
And the grey-backed gentleman on the right measures 13 inches across its top as well, and anywhere from 17-24 inches tall (plus a regal 14 more for its back). $100.
