My First Chairs

My apologies to those who read my family blog and have seen these before, but I just love them and wanted to feature them on this blog.

I found these dirty, smokey chairs at Deseret Industries (a local thrift store) and they were, as my 2 year old would say, GROST (gross + t).  But, with a little love and the same amount of paint...


They transformed!  I totally redid the cushions and reupholstered them in Hollywood Teal from Joann's, which is not an upholstery material.  These were my very first chairs and I didn't know you needed to buy a different kind of fabric for them (duh!).  So, I guess they will be reupholstered soon, but I'm still loving them.



See where I'm Linky partying on my Linky list.

    I'll say they changed! I have to go looking for that Turquoise piano ;)

    I thought I became a follow the other day, but I am now!

    Hope to see you next week :)
