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!

~The Cutest Chairs!

In this post I talked about how in love I am with french

style kids furniture.

A lot of them are really  expensive so I found a pair these chairs:

I REALLY  wasn't digging the fabric...but the price was alright,

so I bought the pair -and some outdoor fabric:

After reupholstering these bigger chairs, these little baby

chairs were a breeze!

So now here is the finished product!

 

I'm really LOVING them now!

No hint left of that shiny pink fabric, woohoo!

They go great in Sophie's room and I hope she'll enjoy them 

someday as much as I do now!

$35.oo Chairs!

New -to me! lol

I found these chairs on craigslist for $35.oo each.

The green fabric is alright and I think I can live with it for a little while,

or until I decide what to re-do them in.

They are over sized,  pretty comfy and

I love the design they have on their backs.

For now they are living on one side of the living room, in

a little reading area :0)

Sorry for the bad pictures, we need a new camera!!!
