Rancho Re-Wraps

In 2012, I was contacted by the new owners of Ojai Rancho Inn to make some chairs for their patios.

Actually, looking back through the email threads - I was contacted to make ALL the furniture around the Rancho. I just saw a quote I put together with drawings for the pool area, and some bedside tables, and patio tables, etc…

What we ended up deciding on was re-wrappinng these vintage lawn chairs in leather.

I found an invoice - and it looks like I charged $150 per chair to re-wrap in leather.

But then each chair that I found had a varying price.

My invoice indicates that the chairs in photo one were found at garage sales, thrift stores, estate sales, and the average price was around $10.

So that group was $165 per chair.

The second group had an average price of $35, I indicated, those I invoiced at $185 a piece.

The total invoice was for $4385.

But here’s the twist, I was living up in Portland, Or, about to hit my last semester of graduate school.

Good thing they were folding chairs! I drove all of these down to Ojai, then went down to stay with my parents.

Then drove back up to Portland, stopping to DJ a wedding on my way back up.

Wild times!
