I bought her at my Goodwill Store for fifteen dollars while I was deep in the antique sofa project.
She wasn't old enough to be pretty on her own, sort of a french wanna-be, but I thought there was potential. So I guess you could say that I rescued her, gave her a much needed facelift!
I told my husband that I absolutely would not touch the chair until my sofa was done, but one day, I found myself tearing off old fabric. Then he reminded me, and I decided I'd better be good. :)
Now, after being ripped a part for a very long time, her she is!
I used Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Pure White, followed by clear, and then a mixture of clear and dark wax.
The fabric and gimp are from U-Fab, I love that store!
Here are the "befores"
And "after"
I'm very happy to be done!!
She's beautiful!!!
