The girls and I went to a community yard sale on Saturday. That's what I'm talking about, two or three sales on every street!! I spotted this little beauty just sitting on the sidewalk. There was nothing wrong with is except it's oak color (you know how I feel about oak) and a thin layer of cat hair.
A little cleaning and painting fixed her up like new. I don't know the first thing about reupholstering so the coral velvet fabric stays. It gives my room a pop of color that I like.
You can't really tell from the photos, but I painted it a light gray. No distressing yet. We'll see.
It was a good find:)
Wow! It was a good find and it turned out so gorgeous. I like the gray. ps We just got home a few minutes ago. No trouble or problems. Its good to be home again.
