VINTAGE CHENILLE reupholstered french chair

 

Yesterday I showed you the *BEFORE* of a

little french chair I was working on this week.

 

The inspiration for this piece started last month in Florida.

We found a gorgeous little shop in St. Petersburg called

The shop is filled with distressed shabby chic furniture,

linens, pillows, chandeliers, and a lot more eye candy.

The first thing George did once inside was

 approach the shop keepers and jokingly said "Ill

 be back in a couple hours to pick her up"

He then continued chatting and joking with them as usual

while I ran around taking pictures of everything I could.

 

 

I just adored these chenille upholstered benches they had.

 

You can see more photos of the store here at their

 web site, and for you regulars Ill be sharing more

 of the photos I took soon.

 

First chance I got I did a little something of my own.

 

Its distressed to give the feel that it is truely an old

 piece then I waxed and polished it till it was shiney smooth.

I edged the seat with bright white trim,

and added a single button to embellish the back.

My instructions for button tufting can be found here.

5 chair re do!

I found this little antique dealer place down by the beach. He has all sorts of stuff. He offered this

chair to me for 5 bucks! Such a deal!!! Im decorating my sons girlfriends bedroom in shades of gray and white and black w/accents of purple. So I figured she could use this chair at the desk I re-did.

I will post photos of the entire room next week, but for now, here is the chair.

The cushion was in great shape. 

 Did a couple coats of CeCes in white and distressed. I have since distressed the cane

part so its not quite so stark white.  And the purple in the photo looks quite, well, um purple. 

Like something Prince might wear. Its actually more subdued in person. Little more on the lavender

side! 

                     A little black trim to tie it into the grays/blacks in the room decor.

 I wish the guy had a few more of these!  5 BUCKS! Unreal.

GEORGE TOLD ME I WAS HOT LAST NIGHT slipper chair n ottoman

I started writing this post several days ago

just as something was hitting me and hitting me hard,

which Ill explain at the end.

I completed this slipper chair with the help of

my sister awhile back, that post can be seen here.

The purchasers of this chair also requested a matching ottoman.

Taya and Matt are a lovely young couple and repeat customers.

I had the matching fabric and a couple of useful pieces waiting for redo.

The question would be ... would one of them work?

Attempt one, was too small,

Attempt two, was too tall,

Attempt three, was just right.

If you look closely you might realize this ottoman was made from

the only salvageable part of another arm chair, with great legs.

Ive been MIA for the last few days due to a case of severe strep

 throat. If you have ever been afflicted with this condition I now

 understand and sympathize. I couldnt talk, eat, swallow, and the

 worst part for me was not thinking straight due to a high fever for

 36hrs straight. After a midnight visit to the hospital and high doses

 of medication, the doc says it will take a few more days till I

 started to feel normal again and Im still having trouble eating and

 drinking but Im definitely back, with a funny sounding voice.

Sharing my fever with:
