The armchair was partially recovered with new corduroy fabric from England. Laura owned and used this chair in the same period that she wrote her famous series “The Little House on the Prairie”.

Which drawer did we make new? Scroll to the next image for the answer. 😊
.
One of the drawers was missing and needed to be compensated for. The interior was deliberately left unfinished to make it easy to distinguish from the original.

This desk belonged to Rose Wilder Lane, daughter of the famous Laura Ingalls Wilder, author of the Little House books. Rose was a writer and editor as well and may have used this very desk to edit her mother’s books!
