Queen Anne Chair Makeover
February 20, 2018 by 46 Comments
Hello lovely Friends! I'm sure most of ya'll have seen this dressing table (actually may be a writing desk) makeover I shared recently: I was so pleased with the positive feedback on this pretty lady, so thank you! (See this makeover HERE if you missed it!) Today I'm back to share the chair that I redid to make it a set. I shared a peek of it in that post: However I already had a ton of photos to share that day, so I decided to share the chair separately, and today's the … [Read more...]
Cane-back Chairs Makeover

Hello sweet friends! Thank you for sharing in my excitement Tuesday about the completion of our very first room in our new house: our guest bathroom! It really feels like a win to have one room done....one down, many more to go! Many also responded about being interested in a wainscoting tutorial, so I will gladly share that with you next week on Thursday! In other news, my sons had their first day at their new schools on Tuesday and would you believe that not just one, but BOTH of them got … [Read more...]
French Linen Chair
January 29, 2016 by
Hello sweet Friends! I have a quickie makeover for ya'll today! I mentioned the other day when I shared my antique dressing table that I was working on a chair for it. This is that chair, only it's a bit higher than a chair so I'm calling it a stool...maybe I should just call it a chool ha ha. Here it is before. Meet the chool: It was a sad chool, but for $7.50 at the thrift store, I dragged its sad little self home. I was going to paint it white to match the dressing table, but … [Read more...]
Petite French Chair (& How to Fix a Broken Seat)
September 24, 2015 by
Bonjour mes amis! Ready for Themed Furniture Thursday? It's about time for a makeover anyway, right? I've been spending so much time lately on my Fall décor! Can you guess what this month's theme is? If you guessed French, you would be right! I have painted many French graphics on pieces over the years, but for this challenge, I chose a chair and I chose not to paint graphics. Here is the chair I chose: I found it a couple of weekends ago when all furniture was 20% off at one of my … [Read more...]
Vintage Cane Club Chair Makeover
July 31, 2015 by
Hi Friends! Up for a little furniture redo today? How about this pretty little cane club chair I picked up recently at the thrift store? I spied it at the Salvation Army on a Thursday for $44, and I really liked it so I asked the gal if they were having any sales any time soon. She told me that all furniture would be 50% off on Saturday. Luckily it was still there! It ended up being only $22! Woo hoo. Now you might think you already know what fabric I used, right? Not this time. … [Read more...]

Each month there is a different theme! Sounds like a fun challenge right? This month's theme is rustic. Yes, a challenge indeed! Remember … [Read more...]
Dressing Table Bench Makeover
January 14, 2015 by
Hello friends! Have you ever peeled off wallpaper to reveal another layer underneath? And then another layer underneath? And so on? That was what happened to me only with a dressing table bench! My Mom picked this up at the same estate sale where she scored these amazing French provincial chairs. (Trust me, they did NOT start out amazing.) We had been together the day before and she went back for the chairs, so I sent her in after the bench as well since it was the last day and everything was … [Read more...]
Oh Christmas Chair
November 20, 2014 by
Hello lovely people! Welcome to Themed Furniture Thursday! Every month I, along with several of my favorite blogging buddies, makeover a piece of furniture to fit a particular theme. Any idea what this month's theme was by seeing the preview picture? Red! The color red is this month's theme. This was a really tough one for me because I don't have anything red in my house, and it totally doesn't suit my style...with one exception...at Christmas time! I had the perfect piece of furniture for … [Read more...]
French Provincial Chair Makeover
October 30, 2014 by
Today I am so excited to share my French Provincial Chair makeover with you! I'm excited mostly because they are done! As you can see by the preview photo, this story has a happy ending. But it wasn't without a few bumps (and blisters) in the road. My Mom and I spied these chairs at an estate sale last Friday. We passed on them, knowing they required a lot of work, but she had a change of heart and went back for them on Saturday. Luckily everything was 50% 0ff and she scored these two … [Read more...]
