Home from restoration. Not perfect, but a big upgrade. Wish I had a spot for this right now, but it goes to the garage for time being. Gouge is gone, most scratches repaired and I'm thrilled to have been able to rescue this lovely piece.

Finally!! I picked up the second set of cushions from the upholstery shop for the other chair today. This process took a lot longer than I thought.

 

The chair on the left was the one that had been painted black, and the one on the right I have had since college. The black chair was an easy refinish, but that second one was a nightmare. I have refinished a lot of furniture, and the atomic-bomb-proof mid century top coat on the second chair was the most difficult to remove I have ever encountered.
