British Colonial Chair Rescue

check out this great chair i rescued!!  the guy thought they were so awful that he wasn't even going to sell them at his yard sale!  i convinced him to sell them to me- there were 3 of them and now they're probably my favorite chairs {and i have a lot of them! ;) }




lastly, we added casters...



not only did this chair have good bones, the cushions are the most comfortable ones have in our house- all i had to do was recover them
p.s. i used high quality linen-colored bedsheets which was really easy to work with and feels super soft.

p.s.s.  i'd love to hear your comments below!

DIY Tutorial on revamping a Louis XVI cane chair

i know, we didn't need yet another chair in our house to add to my chair obsession {where did that come from?}
and my husband had already said that for every new chair i brought into the house, one had to go.
but even he couldn't pass up the killer deal i got on the lovely, Louis XVI style cane chair.  and he knew i could make it cool.
here's what i did {click on photos below for larger view + to read my step-by-step instructions}:

...now it's the perfect addition to my dressing room!
i just love it, do you?  feel free to comment below, i'd love to hear from you
