Garage Sale Chair Reveal.

Remember the old chair with potential? My sister had her serious doubts about it but I think it turned out great. What do you think? Does it need to be reupholstered? I painted it with Paris grey and then Old white over the top. I dry brushed the Old white over the Paris grey on the floral carving. What can I say, I like "old" lady things.

Amazing Thrifty Finds





I found this French chair replica at garage sale at 2pm this afternoon for only $15. This is just the look I am going for in my bedroom. I can just picture it with new paint in Old White and Paris gray and finished off with dark wax for patina. I think I 'm just going to have the upholstery cleaned, the fabric is actually a great color. I have been storing a wingback chair in my garage for months. I have just been working up the courage to do my first reupholstering piece. I was planning on that chair going in my room but I instantly changed my mind when I saw this chair. I guess the old wingback will be an item I will sell.
