Lovely little ladderback....

I found this chair at the thrift store for $3.88.



She was in sad shape. Someone had tried to stain her. (and, gave up part-way though) and, it looked as if the seat had been taken off and just a plain piece of wood was nailed into the legs of the chair.

So, I sanded, and sanded, then, sanded some more. I, then, sprayed some kilz primer on the entire chair.

I painted it with some turquoise spray paint I already had in the gaage. Then, i lightly brushed white acrylic paint over it and distressed it with 220 grit sandpaper.

Lastly, I had some poly-FIL and some
Adorable fabric in the garage as well. So, I put my trusty staple gun to WORK!


Here she is now...
She is in her temporary home at Chelsea Antiques awaiting her new owner ;-)
