While at the thrift store on Saturday, I was very excited to find a couple of pieces that caught my eye right away. One was this chair. I actually felt, dare I say it, giddy over finding this chair!
For $38.99 it was mine! The seat and back fabric is vinyl and I will be changing that out to a script fabric that I got a few months ago {or something similar as the script on my fabric is quite large}. I will also be painting it. I’m thinking Heirloom White with a glaze. It does look like it invites a MacKenzie-Childs look with all the detailing and those legs! Kind of like this.
I don’t think I’d have the patience or steady hand to handle that though.
The detailing is great and I checked to make sure nothing was loose and everything intact. Look at those legs!
I was excited to find a chair with so much interest to it, but it is going to the bottom of the “to do” project list! Au revoir for now chair!

I LOVE that chair!!! So lucky!!!
That is just not possible. I seriously need some lessons in how to find the treasures. I went to our local GW to do a post (recently opened) but I couldn't find anything that inspired me enough to write the post! Looking forward to seeing what you do with the chair. Janell

Hi Kathy!
What a great little chair with loads of character. I would have been happy too if I had found it!

Wow...you MUST paint it like M-C...you don't need a steady hand, just some good painter's tape...and a gold krylon pen to cover any mistakes :-) If you find this chair missing, don't come to my house looking for it
:-)
Hi Kathy~
What fun lines that chair has! Just saying... paint me, paint me. :) It will be a fun project.

Nice chair Kathy!
Thanks for linking this beauty to Treasure Hunt Thursday. Alex was looking over my shoulder and saw the chair and she is crazy over it too!
She called it Alice in Wonderland Chic!

This is going to make a nice re-do! I need to find me some small script fabric- all I see is the large print! Visiting from Rhonda's.
