Hello beautiful friends! Have you ever passed on a chair because it had a damaged seat? Well today I am getting together with my Furniture Fixer Upper girls to share furniture flips, and I have one such chair to share!

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...]

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...]
