More Booth Inventory: Alley Fiinds and Miscellaneous Reinventions

I'm packing up the car to head to the country.

I'm always working on inventory for my booth there

at Greenwood Antiques and Uniques.

Here are some before/afters of recent additions:

This chair was sitting out in the alley a block from my house...

In good shape other than a little worn upholstery on the seat...

I had just enough of this zebra print….

to do the front..

I used a remnant from a mattelasse bedspread for the back..

Burlap bottom...

I edged in this burlap trim, and added oversized pewter nail heads.

This is how much fabric I had left….

living on the edge, folks!

Ta dah

In the booth!

 Here's an interesting table…

Extremely heavy, iron base.

I have a feeling the top might have been damaged, 

and someone made it into their art project.

And then, yep, discarded in the alley.

 I primed the top, and painted the rusty base with black spray paint.

 Then I painted the top in Benjamin Moore "Splilt Pea".

 I coupled it with these two outdoor chairs 

and recovered the seats to match.

I call it the "Lillipad" set.

 This coffee table was already painted when I got it...

 I converted it into a bench by upholstering the top.

 Here it is all propped in my booth ready for sale.

 Purchased this plaster plaque at a yard sale…

I base coated it in ASCP Graphite.

 Then I added white to all the details.

Finished piece.

 Boring wood table from thrift shop..

 I painted in a two tone treatment with ASCP in Paris Grey and Cream.

 Paired with these toile chairs I reupholstered,

 Makes a perfect little ensemble.

 Antique chair...

with a damaged cane seat...

Gets a fun new seat job.

Let me know if you're taking a fancy to any of these pieces!
They're all for sale.

And here are this morning's alley finds….

old coffee table….

…and a 3 legged wicker chair.

They're packed up in the car, ready to go West….

Have a great weekend!!!!!!!
May the force be with you.
