I just bought this chair from Campbell Yard Sales for $10. It belonged to the grandmother of the lady I purchased it from. A treasure find for sure! The leather is in great condition. I haven’t decided what color to refinish the wood frame in yet. I will likely leave that until I get settled in Austin and paint it as an accent piece for my living room or master bedroom.
I’m so over-the-top thrilled with how this $5 thrift shoppe find has turned out after sanding and painting it all “shabby chic!” It’s so much nicer than any industrial metal card rack. My cards are going to look absolutely fabulous displayed on it! Next step is adding my cards to it and displaying at a local retail store. It’s currently sitting upside down in this picture because I just finished painting it. Watch for more photos with my cards on it coming soon!
I just set up this little area with the refinished chair, antique sewing machine and the outdoor wrought iron end table that I painted and did a tea stain on. I didn’t really know how Travis would feel about it when he got home, but he’s home now and he was sweet as ever about it! He just goes with the flow. My dad says he has the patience of a saint! Ha ha! I know exactly what he means by that!!! He doesn’t know how Travis would put up with me if it weren’t for being so easy going! ;-)
Believe it or not, this is a little desk. I picked it up from a friend who tried to refinish it in white but ran out of time and energy! Babies will do that. So I think I will sand it down and paint it in the off white with a tea stain. It may take me a bit to get going on this one! There’s a fair amount of work involved on this baby!
Look what I picked up today for $10. It’s a lady’s sewing chair. It’s really cute. I think I might paint it a worn out dusty rose color and find some matching pillows for it. I can’t wait to get going on this one! It’ll be “oh so shabby chic!”
