The ugly duckling...

Once upon a time I stopped by a small resale shop and spotted this gal...she looked a bit lonely, neglected, and well, just sad.


(I think I may have a tiny obsession with chairs.  For such a small home, I could seat at least 20.  

Maybe not all in one room together, but everyone would have a chair.  ;)


I brought her home and cleaned her up.  Then I gave her a once over with some ASCP in Country Grey.   She perked up a bit, she may have even smiled.

Then she got a generous wipe down with some clear wax.  A bit of sanding, buffing, and she looked as if she was ready to hit the runway.

"I'm too sexy for my spindles..."

And she lived happily ever after.

The end.

    I too have a 'small' thing about chairs! It is one of the pieces I redo and sell the most of at the shop where I have my reshabbed pieces. I can never pass up a chair or two at a sale.
    She is too sexy for her spindles. Hahahahaa
    Hugs, Gee

    I LOVE chairs too..we had 40 for Thanksgiving last year and I was able to sit everybody in a wooden chair...obsession??? I think so..oh but it could be much worse. This chair is just adorable!!!! My husband built me a 12' long dining room table and eventually I hope to have 14 different chairs to around it in all different colors :)
