Here's the "before" little stool and the chair:
Added the iron scrolly piece to front side of wooden stool~~
(and please notice I also finished painting that little pergola in the background! see~~I can get through my projects~~eventually)~~
And using up some stashed~away vintage '40's fabric for the upholstered seat to my $3.00 chair~~
So, I'm keeping the wooden stool for myself~~taking the chair to my booth. I'm thinking of pricing about $20.00~~do you think that is fair price? This chair is in excellent condition~
And here's that "cart before the horse" story~~
Got this rug for a great deal from Lowe's~~not finished with the wallpaper til Monday~~then do the bottom half with "beadboard" wall paper~~that will take me a few days. But, here's my rug and I love it!
Will post later in week as I progress~~everyday it's lookin' better in this room~~my biggest thrill is the baseboard and transom/trimwork to the doorways~~I can hardly wait! (doesn't take much to excite me;)
Ice tea with lemon, tall glass, walking around the backyard and loving my hostas; this big one is flowering pretty lavender spikes.
Hey; get some projects going! Well, least you sit back and dream about what you want to do~~that's how I'm going to do it today~~I'll hit the bricks tomorrow (rather the wallpapering).
Beautiful transformations. $20.00 seems under priced to me; that chair is gorgeous! What a nice rug, it will look so good when the room is finished. I love that wallpaper!
ReplyDeleteThank you for commenting on my post @The Blooming Hydrangea! I do love blogs, decorating and all that, it is wonderful and I love walking into my home/rooms of my home that I have created and look great. I just struggle with how much time, money ,etc. which for me I know is just finding balance. As with all things, right? :) I am stopping over and peekingat your blog, love what you're doing and that chair, what a beauty!!
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
I cannot believe the transformation! I think the chair should be $28. I love the vintage fabric. You are moving right along with your projects! xo,
ReplyDeleteHey, you are a lady after my own heart. I am always buying stuff before I'm ready for it. Just gotta buy it when you find it. The chair and table turned out beautifully. You wouldn't know that they were the same pieces. Yes, I think $20 is a very good price. I love transom windows. I bought one to put at the entrance of our theater room when we finish the basement. See what I mean? Can't wait to see the room finished.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the finished room, with the beadboard wallpaper! I have been wanting to try it in one of my bathrooms. I haven't gotten around to that project yet ;) Love your blog... XoXo
ReplyDeleteThey turned out beautifully! I love the shabby chic look. Thanks for sharing and thanks for stopping by my little corner of the world earlier.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful transformation on that chair. I think $20 is under priced. I would think $30. After all the chair is in excellent shape, and the fabric is vintage. I would buy it myself. You did a great job!

You did a beautiful job with you chair and table.
ReplyDeleteTWENTY DOLLARS!? WOW! SERIOUSLY!? I'd buy it in a SECOND if we lived closer...love love LOVE it!!
ReplyDeleteCute chair, it should be sold by now!
ReplyDeleteThe rug is a big expense usually and should be the first or one of the first things chosen, so you are right on target. The room will be lovely.
The chair and stool are FABULOUS! Worth way more than $20.
