Typically $5 is my limit I will spend on a chair for resale, but this was so unique, sturdy, and I knew exactly what I was going to do with it. I had the perfect vintage fabric that was originally a curtain. I also had the perfect color paint to match it...It was even deserving of an Anthropologie photo shoot with moss and ledge as the background.
VOILA!!
In addition, I refinished two more wood containers my father scored for free for me....
The first trunk was painted with a cranberry color and the second container was painted a shabby blue with french beret for the interior..(the same color I used for my (BEDROOM MAKEOVER). If you haven't figured it out, "tresors" is "treasures" in french.
And lastly, here is a sneak peak of an upcoming project I am working on....
Only $15 at Goodwill! I an hoping to transform it into something out of this world....
This afternoon, I am stopping by my friend Debra's from Capers of the Vintage Vixens. I know her house is going to be out of this world. Little does she know, I am bringing my camera and sneaking photos to share with you. (I guess she knows now if she is reading this...LOL!)

ReplyDeletetrunks for you! Your choice of colors is wonderful!
I like the blue color you used to paint the chair and the wood container. You always pick the simplest and best colors.
