Frenchy chair

I was soooo excited to have found this chair at a second hand store the other day, usually the only things that I find are plain square, cheap laminated furniture which I don't like and to see this chair sitting there waiting for me, I heard angels singing.


I haven't had the time to re-do it yet, but I'm planning to refinish it " a la Miss Mustard Seed" 



I really don't want to rush, will take my time to chose the right paint and fabric for the seat cushion.



It has some damage on the back that I don't know how to repair, will have to come up with something.


Stay tuned for the reveal!



I will be taking a few days off in Aspen, CO I'm hoping to find a few yard sales there this Saturday, is there such thing in Aspen? we'll see, or at least find me an antique mall.  Promise to take a lot of pictures.
Thanks for reading, wishing you a great weekend and Memorial Day.

    What a gorgeous chair you found! I found a chair for $10 with caning at Habitat Restore and it is interesting but not like your find. See what you mean - I know angels were singing here! Just looking at it's picture I can see how you were drawn to it Lots of character and just betting this will be one beautiful chair when you are finished! Can't wait to see what you do with your chair!

    Hello Ido!
    That was a great find!
    You asked about the bonding for the cake plates. I use a glue called E6000. It comes in a tube and I get it at the craft stores. It is amazing and bonds really well! Thanks for visiting my blog :)
