Twins!!


Pure delight! That's the feeling I had when my sister gave me this.

I didn't waste any time due to the fact she just may change her mind.

Twins at that! I was nice and offered to take only one but she knew they would be happier together. She's nice like that.

She bought these babies while we were at an awesome garage sale. My first thought was she must be crazy. I must be the first to admit she has an eye for such treasures. These babies are VERY well made. I didn't waste one second riding them of their 80's look.

While pulling off the much outdated garments I did feel a rush of fear flow over me.

What in the world do I do if I cant figure out how to replace what I have just torn up! I will be back soon..off to buy liquid sander...stayed tuned...please~

These are gorgeous & have LOTS of potential. I see chippy white for your new Swedish style...cushioned in a neutral. Can't wait to see what you do!!! Might i suggest entering my giveaway this week. They would look great placed on these :)

I saw a couple of these chairs at a sale a few years ago and passed them up, because the caning was bad. If they had looked as great as these I would have brought them home. I love the look of them and can't wait to see what you do!!

I have a chair with a back like that and I haven't had time to figure out how to fix it. These are awesome - can't wait to see how you finish them!

duchess said...

Ooo. I've never tackled an upholstery project (other than a dining room chair) - can't wait to see how you do it.
Enjoy your Monday.

I saw an identical chair at a church yard sale a couple months ago and I'm still kickin' myself for passing it by! I can't wait to see what you do!

Empty Nest Full Life said...

Looking forward to see what you will do with them. Saw an identical one last week at the GW 24.99. Give us a little inspiration to see past the 80's look. Jackie

The seat will be easy, but if you have trouble with the back, just leave it open! They look nice like that!

I just know that you're going to do something spectacular! Those chairs look incredibly comfortable.

FOR THE SAKE OF TIME said...

They are just great! I DID have one that was very close to them but, crazy me, I sold it at a garage sale in the emid 90's when the color peach went out of style. If I had only known then what I know now. I can't wait to see the finished product.
