Craigslist Treasures

I was browsing craigslist last week..didn't think I'd find anything

interesting- but I did!

I found a pair of these french chairs

I contemplated with myself about whether I needed them or not,

Then I googled (talked myself into them) inspiration photos of

similar chairs...such as:

I couldn't stop thinking about them so I decided to just go check them 

out and if they were rickety I just wouldn't buy them!

..*plugs in halo*

So I went to "check them out" and walked away with 3 chairs instead of 2, lol.

3 chairs for $60..not bad really :0)

Here's what the third chair looks like:

It has super cute details..for 20 bucks I just couldn't pass it up!!

This one will probably get painted -I'm not sure yet..and a cushion needs

to be made up for the seat.

So anyway...back to the pink chairs...

I was a little nervous about tackling this upholstery job but

decided to just jump right in and figure out the puzzle.

Here's what I have done so far to the poor thing:

(looks bad -but I promise it will get better!)

I've been thinking about putting a piece of toile that I have on the back of the chair

and then finishing the rest of the chair in a creamy chenille.

I propped the toile into the back and can't decide if I like it or not!

any thoughts?

Here's a pic of that...

and here's what the chenille looks like:

(it's on it's way to me-hurry! hurry!)

I could also paint the wood..but I'm using light fabrics so I don't want it to

be too plain..anyone have any thoughts? 

Thanks in advance for your thoughts:0) They are very much appreciated!
