Garage Sale Score

by - Sunday, July 19, 2009

HandyMan, Chloe and I were out for a walk yesterday and stumbled upon a garage sale in our neighbourhood. It was late morning so we were surprised to see some nice items that hadn't yet been scooped up. We immediately fell in love with this beauty of a chair:
 
victorian child chair, antique child round back chair


It's a reproduction Victorian round back parlor chair. The seller said it was made in Williamsville (NY?) and originally cost a few hundred dollars but we could have it for - wait for it - $20!! Sold!! I immediately envisaged doing a chair makeover on it.

I love the curves on our chair and think a painted finish will really help to bring them out.

Tomorrow, I'll show you some fabric options I'm thinking of... and the surprising reason only one of us will get to use this chair :o(
