Saturday’s Purging!

Now at home with part of my Florida Family.
The wicker dining table went too. I can’t find a picture of it.
It is  going to have a beautiful new home.

How Did My Furniture Get On A TV Show?

I always do a double take when I see something I own on TV.
I asked Andy if he put this together for them too and he answered in the affirmative. Then he said "And that’s a good thing!”
That is the same thing he said to me when he finished putting mine together.

Finished Chair Seats

I bought these 100 year old walnut chairs at an auction about 40 years ago.
13 years ago we put a clear coat finish on them and upholstered the seats.
We didn’t replace the original bases for the seats and recently 2 of them broke through the bottoms. We removed the fabric and had new bases made about a year ago.
I just finished putting them back together with the same gorgeous fabric.

I had replaced the fabric on two of them but ran out of staples.
Yesterday I finished replacing the covers on the remaining 4 of them.
Happy to be able to check off one more item on my TO DO list.

My Birthday Present From Me

Yesterday I posted a picture of this chair on my Facebook page and the response was overwhelming. It is so gorgeous from all sides. I wish I could put it in the center of the room so we could enjoy it from all sides.

It was hand painted by Monne Haug, a Kenosha, Wisconsin artist. In addition to being beautiful it is extremely comfortable.
This is the front view of the chair. Notice how she has painted the legs, 3 different greens, one for each section of the legs. …but wait, there’s more.

This is a view of the right side of the chair.
 
Here is the back of the chair.

And lastly, the left side.
I know you will understand why I wanted this in the middle of the room so all sides could be appreciated.
My plan was to put in in the place I moved out the black leather recliner.
Enter Kim….she had a idea how to move things so it would be visible and appreciated from all sides.

We  worked together. She suggested the location and did the final placement of the chair and cabinet. I found this small cabinet in a bedroom, made the arrangement in the copper pot and added a few accessories. To complement the chair I only shopped my house.
I am so pleased not only with the chair but that it is such a beautiful addition to the room.
