vintage chair ~

The mister and I ventured out on Sunday for a day of junking in unchartered territory.  We love those days.......we sort of have an idea where we're headed, and of course, we use the internet to print off a list of possible junking sites, but once we get going we never know where we'll actually end up!

We got a late start and only had time to browse a few "new to us" antique stores before it got dark and foggy and it was time to head on home.  We found a few neat things and it felt good to spend money at a mom and pop shop.  The small businesses out there really need all of our support!

I found this vintage chair on one of our stops.  I loved the lines and original paint and thought I could spruce it up with a new seat cover.  Here it as after its makeover.....



 I chose this fresh fun emerald green and white damask fabric to modernize it a little bit





I'm planning on taking it to the booth tomorrow, so it will soon be available for sale!
