My reward for standing in that crAzy, 18° chilly, looong line for St Vinnie’s ½ price sale on Monday was “the desk” I was after AND,
this pair of chairs! $20 each, $10 each!
*There were 4 chairs~I felt badly for breaking up the set, but I only wanted 2 ! And they were priced seperately!
Here’s the project—
The big brothers moved to the double-sized guest bedroom with private bath downstairs, so my princess Aleigha quickly staked her claim on the nEWly vacated bedroom for her own! I’m surprised she didn’t move her little sister in there and keep the bigger room they shared~ wait till she realizes!
The 1st project I intended to work on was the book cases that will surround her BiG window, and a window seat! BUT, I’ve got so many projects backed up in my studio~I hardly have room to turn around!
~So I’m pecking off several small, quick projects to make room,
~and tHAt’s what you’ll be seeing in these next posts!
These would have been finished next week, and placed in the nearly finished room, but~oh well!
I LUV THEM~my niece isn’t sOLd! She can’t “see” the end game yet.
I took the seats apart–someone was sUper staple-happy. Thnx.
Then I took them to Katie. I’m sure they’re going to get roughed around and probably beat up a lot by a pre-teen, so I was tryin’ to give ’em a fight’n chance!
*Sometimes you have to leave it to the professionals!
I playfully chose a different area of the fabric design for each seat!
Did I mention I painted the chairs different colors too?!? btw~that’s the family puppy, CHAMP, supervising me!
before & afters ~ the $10 chairs!
Looks sO muCH beTTer~don’cha think!?!
And perfect for a 9yr old budding fashionista!

Catherine – I have just finished reading your complete blog archives. I got here through such a convoluted way, I can’t figure it out now. I read the Better After Blog,and that might be how. Seems as though it was a pinterest board, though.
I’m now completely up to date, and it feels as though I’ve just gotten to the end of a wonderful, awesome loong book/Downton Abby/epic TV series.
I love your furniture – especially these chairs!
I have a little chair issue myself – and I’ve been wanting to paint them different colors – something like this! Wonderful colors – the frames and the fabric. I love them.
Please don’t ever stop building and writing about it. I love it!
