Welcome Ava Carter..


So many people search their whole lives for something they love to do.. Me i know the things i love to do.. Spend time with my husband, play with my babies, eat food, drink & be merry.. Take photo's of pretty much anything & wait for it....... restore chairs! Observe them, think about them, feel them & picture them loved in beautiful houses...

So to continue to follow my dream i put out the call to all family memebers - please if you see an old chair pick it up & let me play.. My mother found this chair in a little shop near where she lives, it was well loved by someone for a long time before me. That is what i love about chairs,  no doubt at some point someone has contemplated a life moment sitting in this very chair. No doubt someone has closed their eyes with the hope of a little rest after a long day.. When i sand them & choose their new cover fabric i think about all the places they might have lived before coming to me for a little TLC.. 

They feel special when i work on them - it has become rather a passion to work on my chairs, so I have put together an 09 collection.. Ava Carter Chairs has been born or should i say reborn...
