A Tale of Two Chairs

Obviously, I have a thing for chairs......

I can't help myself.

I see a cute cast-off chair, I want better things for it!

Here are a couple I just did this past week.

I picked up this petite orange velour chair at a Goodwill..

I painted the wood arms and legs with ASCP in Old White.

Wilma staked out her claim pronto....

I had just enough of this chenille remant to cover the seat and front.

So I looked around for another remnant to do the arms and back...

I considered this one, but it wasn't quite right.

So a quick trip to UFab yielded this wonderful gray and white graphic fabric.

I used it to cover the back...

And the arms.

I added this onion fringe around the arms...

...and bottom edge of chair.

 And made a coordinating throw pillow.  

This chair was PERFECT in my living room,

but I knew Wilma would have it 

shredded in about 2.5 seconds, 

so it had to go..

And while I was in Greenwood this past week, 

I purchased this chair from a dealer.

Look at all the curlycues........

Love the wood detail in this chair...

I couldn't WAIT to get my hands on it!

So after painting the wood, 

I decided on this grey & yellow ticking..

Here it is all completed.

And while I had enough of the stripe for the back,

I used this medallion print to spice things up.

 I added gimp to all the edges. 

Here you can see the beautiful wood detail 

after it was distress sanded, waxed and buffed.

 And of course, a throw pillow came next.

And here they both live at my booth in Greenwood...

It's a race to see which one sells first!

My vote is the gray chenille!

(Striped chair: $189

Grey Chenille chair: $225)

Oh, and I had just enough of the medallion fabric 

to use on this little yard sale vanity chair.

It got a paint job, too, and a rebuilt seat.

Can't you just see this sitting at a little girl's vanity?

($45)

Okay, so it's
