Thought I would share a couple of chairs with you that I had re-upholstered recently. The first chair is a child’s chair that I purchased from Euro Trash last year. I love the way it turned out. And the second is a garage sale purchase. I’m quite pleased with it but the color of the fabric is a little off from what I was wishing for. Still super cute and fun though.

You are talented! Both chairs look great!
Do you do this for a living, or is it just for your own home? Anyway, I see you are a creative person. Maybe you could join the challenge on Sweeterliving.blogspot.com? You might enjoy it…
Have a great friday!

The chairs look great! They are pretty out there, which is pretty cool for such vintage chairs. I must go to more garage sales. I would love this sort of chair.

Thanks everyone.
The smaller chair is in my daughters room and it is my favorite.
I don't do this for a living. I'd be in trouble if I did. It took me almost a year to get these done. But now that I've done it once I think I could move a little quicker. I was really lucky because I fond an upholster that was really really reasonable (you'll have to let me know if I'm wrong). $100 for the little chair and $150 for the regular sized one.
And the union jack pillow I bought last year while I was in England so it's a special little thing.
Feeling better but still having some headaches. But each day can only get better! Thanks for asking!
Hope you all have a lovely lovely weekend!

Loving the chairs they are gorgeous!! what a find I bet the owners would be wishing they had not sold after seeing how you have re styled them, I wish chairs like that were in garage sales over here for me to re upholster, i will keep looking maybe one day, have a great weekend hope those headaches go soon :)

The charis are "la la lovely" and French style is my favorite. I have "redone" several for my shop/boutique and will post them later on.
I am just starting my blog and so happy to discover all of the fabulous ones out there –
But, mine needs much work. How did you get the photos to the right to upload and comments on them? I'm still trying to figure it all out.
