<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DragonflyWink, post: 5994, member: 111&quot;]Hehe - my thoughts too.&nbsp; It was painted black with red stripes, the seats were red velour with black piping - was kind of attractive, in a flashy, trashy sort of way...</p><p><br /></p><p>Pretty sure the fabric on that set is exactly the same as under the slipcovers on my late &#039;60s barrel chair and ottoman.&nbsp; When I bought my 1969 house from the second owner, she left the the original gold damask drapes and valance, near totally rotted from sun, a pale yellow and walnut &#039;French Provincial&#039; dining set, a very nice yellow striped velvet tuxedo sofa, and the chair and ottoman, all purchased from the first owner; also had the original flocked gold wallpaper in foyer and dining room, pasted on with a freakishly strong adhesive (thankfully, a different paste was used on the hideous kitchen and bath wallpapers).&nbsp; Tossed the window treatments, redid the dining chair seats in a cheerful plaid, slip-covered the other pieces, and after trying every method known to get the wallpaper off (short of a jackhammer), finally just primed it and put two coats of paint down - looks pretty good.</p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
