I love chairs

I have a thing for chairs -
Actually I have a thing for everything.............lol but I really do love chairs -
This one is my favorite redo

I don't have a before - but it was god-awful - dark brown chipped wood - orange and brown and green floral velvet upholstery - but it was 25 dollars - and I knew I could do something with it - AND - after I had finished it I started seeing the finished product everywhere ( same painted color - same black fabric - same tufting and I swear to you I did not have an inspiration photo of this!!!! ) Elte Furniture has a very similar one for aprox. 500.00 dollars.  It did not have tufting on the back originally and that makes it I think.

This is my next chair

Not nearly as ugly as the one above one was - actually it's kind of pretty ( if not a little boring ) -  not sure what I will do with it yet - but I really do love the back.

BTW - the pretty dresser and mirror are mine ( all mine ) being picked up on Saturday!

And I have emptied out the buffet/hutch - the lady is coming today to pick it up so have been scouring CL and Kijiji trying to find another. I absolutely cannot leave an inch of space uncovered ( part of the sickness, don't you know? )

A little chat - about this and that

This -
is an old rattan ottoman/storage I have had for many years - and it has definitely seen better days - it was brown, than I painted it black - and now I have painted it silver - maybe a little too flashy?


That

is the newest dresser I am trying to purchase ( advertised as not in pristine condition )
and it comes with this!  Is it normal to get so excited about furniture? 



Oh yes - and a 2nd person contacted me about the buffet / hutch - the email reads
" hi for 50$ i will be interested thanks "
Don't know whether to laugh or cry at that, think I'll laugh because it really is a joke.
   
On another note, we have a new supplier for ASCP opening here in Montreal ( not sure when though ) - great news because although I have a wonderful supplier already she is in Bath, Ontario ( THE MELON PATCH 
check out her store - just google the name)
I will at least save on shipping fees - the paint is so expensive that I will take any savings I can get.
 Have started on this,



and think I will do this again ( it sold so quickly - maybe it's a winning formula!!! )


and that's all for now folks ;)
