French Chair # 2

It was one week ago today that my daughter picked up this chair from the antique store that it was holding it for me . This is the second chair that I was telling you about .

I like pink . But this was all wrong . Plus she was a little warn .

So I took all the upholstery off . See that rolled stuff around the edge ? It just disintegrated in my hands , and I have had allergy problems ever since . Look at the fabric that was separating the padding from the springs .

Once I got her all striped down and cleaned up I started painting her.

Pretty details .

I distressed and waxed her , then started dressing her back up.

I did the CitraSolv method again.

Graphic from the Graphic Fairy .

Peeking to see if it transferred right.

The transfer before the fabric pin.

And after.

Just a little less faded looking . Although that faded look looks great on some things .

Here she is all finished !

And sitting in the living room with her sister .

Do you like them ? I’m just tickled freaky about them .

I sure wish that TV had a frenchy white frame around it !

One last picture for fun.

I just thought it was pretty the way the light came through the lace panels and accented the angel .

Okay , now it’s on to the next project ! Have a great week !

Going to link with these parties…
