Chair at Wisteria catalog on sale proportions were great fabric not my style
Painted with Annie Sloan chalk paint by me used white over the wood then used her clear wax
Snowflake is under the impression that this is her chair.
French Chair Redo
I love this style of French chair! I never bought one before because they were always incorrectly proportioned. French furniture only looks good if the ratios are correct. This was in a catalog I get--Wisteria (http://www.wisteria.com/ )
and it was on sale! I didn't care for the fabric at all or the color of the wood.
I bought it anyway because of the size and good bones. When it arrived (very quickly) I put it in the garage and mixed my white Annie Sloan chalk paint with a touch of water and painted the wood. It was a quick job of it just some coverage of white I did not totally cover all the frame.
Then I found this yummy pink suede fabric for it at a very good price.
And 3 weeks after dropping it off at upholstery shop... Voila! My new chair is at home in formal living room. I had some pink silk made into pillows and this pillow fits the chair perfectly.
Snowflake adores the new chair! I have yet to enjoy it myself.
I am freshening up my formal living room with new pillows, this new chair and new draperies too.Two more chairs to redo will show those too.
