quite the pair



It's true, Jilly has an obsession for pairs of chairs. She found these little orphans on CL a few years ago and if you can believe it, she didn't have an extra inch of space for them.

Honestly, I didn't have the perfect place for them either but I thought they were so darling, I didn't care if they had to sleep in bed with me until I could find one.

Since then, they've been bounced around from the garage to the bathroom, to a bedroom. I finally got some inspiration when I found this handsome pale blue, linen-esque fabric for $6.99 a yard.

Please take note of the pastel, rainbow, oil cloth fabric someone lovingly chose for them in a previous relationship. I'm going to assume it was their biggest regret. YIKES!



After a few hours, a fresh coat of paint and some divots in my skin, here are my new babies. They'll go in the office niche right off my family room, where we just painted and added a totally awesome (yes, I just said totally awesome) new piece of furniture.
Pictures to come.


Loving everything about them. The gimp was purchased at SAS, my favorite place to pick up deals on fabric and trim. You can hardly tell in the pic but it's a blue-grey burlap texture. Yummy!

  2. These are such nice chairs! I especially think the trim is perfect. I need you guys to come over here and help me re-do the 4 pieces I have artists' block over. But enough about me - they are lovely, really.

  7. Sooo pretty! Is it hard to recover chairs?
    Have some wingbacks that I was going to slip but they have similar wooden arms and I think I just need to figure out how to recover them.

    Yours are beautiful!
