Sneak Peek Chair Makeover

Here's a little sneak peek at my upcoming project (hopefully it will be done tomorrow!).   I found the perfect chair to go with the desk I'm doing.  I went fabric shopping for the seat and as soon as I saw this fabric my vision for the entire project changed.  So, we'll see how it turns out (I'm excited!).   :)

I thought she was cute enough for her own post. :)

I knew the second I saw it, it was perfect for what I had in mind. 

Such a sweet little chair for a girl.

Antique Table

I normally don't buy dining tables because they take up so much room in my little shop, but when I saw this one this summer I just couldn't pass it up.  I loved the legs and the price was right (and, my husband told me I would be crazy not to buy it!).  I lost the before picture, but it was a medium tone wood and actually in pretty good shape.  

My client decided on black with a wood top.   This one gave me a workout!  The top ended up being a mahogany veneer--very pretty!

There are 5 more chairs, but I didn't have the heart to ask Craig to haul them all out for me.  The captain's chair is my favorite anyway. :)

Yes, I have table envy! :)  

 How could I walk away from those?? :)

She wanted to reupholster the seats with her own fabric so I just threw something on the cushion I already had (which is why the seat is not attached--again!). ;)

French Provincial Nightstand

This is the little sister to this hutch.  :)  She's very sweet, too!

 One of the things I love about this style of furniture is the hardware!  

French Provincial Hutch

I absolutely love French Provincial pieces.  I've had my eye out for a while now, but can't ever seem to find anything.  Last week my client brought me a whole bedroom set of it!!  Lucky me! ;)  There were 6 pieces all together.  Her daughter is 12 and she wanted something she could use now and would also transition with her.  She was also hoping some of the pieceswould work in other parts of her home.  We decided on black.  I know I've said this a bazillion times (more?), but I can't believe what a difference paint can make!  You can see the little nightstand that matches here.

Before

Looking a little tired and dated....

 After

  I'm so excited!!!  I'm clapping in my head!!  If I hadn't painted it myself I wouldn't believe it was the same piece! :)

 This is probably the lightest I've ever distressed.  I love how it's just enough to bring out the lines and details of the piece without drawing attention.
