Garage Sale Visionary





Meet the Bloggers Who Inspired Us!
There’s more to DIY than the ‘D’ and the ‘I’—and these brave bloggers showed us a thing or two about tackling tough projects. In sharing their favorite statement chairs, each of the following ladies proved that, with a little love (and elbow grease), any chair can go from drab to fab!
And the awards go to…
Chelsea, of Chelsea’s Garage, found this pretty country-style spin on a classic Sheraton chair sitting by the side of the road. With freshly upholstered interchangeable seat cushions, she turned it into this sweet little multitasker—a true “Roadside Rescue.”
Marie, of Interior Frugalista, went in for a quick refresh, but quickly realized this Victorian buckle-back chair was going to be a lot more work. After removing its original straw stuffing and adding new upholstery and a fresh finish, she accomplished what we can only call a “Radical Renewal.”
Interior design pro Kathleen Jennison has the art of transforming antique chairs into modern creations down to a science, and we love her vision! Her roster of statement chairs—all reupholstered with her magic touch—gives her the honor of “Antique Advocate” in our book.
We love how Judy, of Vintage Street Designs, knew the vibe she wanted for this French-inspired Colonial revival chair, and brought it to life. Her total transformation infuses a dose of Parisian elegance and French country charm to her “Inspired Romantic” DIY.
Holly, of House by Holly, found this Louis XVI seat on a curb, and defied the odds to bring it back to its former glory! We’ve dubbed her a “Passionate Preservationist” for her ability to see the potential of this regal seat.
Pam, of Our Adventures in Home Improvement, is a true “Garage Sale Visionary.” The heart and soul of this DIY was giving this tired Louis XV fauteuil a new lease on life—and we applaud her tireless efforts, and amazing results!

 
Thank you so much to One Kings Lane and thank you for your visit.

My Statement Chair

 

  

 
Do you have a favorite chair?  Does it make a statement about your style?  I have this one!   A couple of years ago I came across this beauty at a garage sale.  It was $2.  My husband was sure I had lost my mind, as it was pretty nasty looking.  But I had a vision for it. 
 
 
 
 
 
Luckily we worked and worked on removing the thousands of staples and all of the old yucky fabric, then we started over.  It cost $35 in new fabric, padding and cording. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
This week I was asked to show my Statement Chair and let others know about the Home Décor Resource at One Kings Lane.  They have a ton of information on furniture!  There are details on different styles, different periods, etc.
 
On their site, I learned that my chair is based on a 19th Century French design. 
 
(They have this beauty for sale through 11/17/13.)
 
 
It's been a couple of years since reupholstering this chair and I still love it!  It's definitely my Statement Chair.

 
 
 
 
Thank you for your visit!
