Kitchen chairs

I've had these chairs at my kitchen table for years-

I loved the look

 but they are really heavy and not comfortable!

What's a girl to do?

Go Goodwill Hunting!!

Over the past few months,

 I have scored some chairs to replace my current ones-

some have a padded seat
which I think will add to the comfort-

I have a plan

 but as we know,

the best laid plans.... 

so fingers crossed-

I'll be back to show you the finished product,

soon!!

So, take care, gotta fly- Claire

(ps.. I got busy, changed my mind after painting two coats of one color

 and I can't wait to show you the finished product!)

As I quickly ran through Club GW the other day,

there was no furniture that really caught my eye-

I'm not interested in couches or upholstered chairs-

basically because I don't possess great upholstery skills-

I can cover a seat cushion with the best of them

 but when it

comes to actually reupholstering a large piece of furniture covered in fabric

-arrggghhhh-

that's where my talent ends! 

So, I tend to buy wooden chairs with a fabric seat and tables-

many, many, many tables

If I didn't know better, I'd call it an obsession-

so, suddenly I spotted a table in the corner of the outlet.

A wide grin came across my face but I tried to squelch it-

didn't want anyone to notice me or the table-

it was really heavy

 but with some unknown herculon strength

 I lifted it up and slowly made my way to the checkout,

trying to contain my glee and not skipping all the way-

I guess you're ready to see it........

$6.99-

that's all I have to say!

Well, take care, gotta fly- Claire

A freebie!!

       I got it for free -

 YIPPEE!!

Aleshia and my daughter, Caitlin

My daughter's best friend's mom, Barb, 

sent it my way

Isn't it a beauty?

I kilzed it-

I sprayed it with
 Rustoleums Heirloom white (of course)!-

Then I distressed it-

Are you noticing a pattern?

Thanks Barb and Aleshia!!

Now- on to the party!

                    

Isn't she a real beauty!!?!!

Well, take care, gotta fly- Claire

Partying at......



Here I am!

The rainy weather is gone for awhile

 so I need to get to work-

Here's where you can find me!

 So much to do-
so little time - lol

I need to paint!!

Gotta fly- Claire

3 OLD CHAIRS

Do you remember these chairs?

I bought them awhile back at Club GW-

I love the carved roses-

They have something to do with my name!!

They were pretty beat up- dirty and scratched-


I thought they would look lovely in a satin black-

I do think they look all dressed up now-

They are quite the pair- and I even have a third for a spare to my pair!

Take care, gotta fly - Claire

Hurrah for harps

The Club GW outlet near my home,

is full-

some people may even call it a big building

 full of junk or garbage-

But, remember one man's junk

 may be another man's treasure...

or in my case,

 a woman's treasure!

I recently found a coffee table that was divine-

Her coat was abit tattered and somewhat torn

but her lines were lovely- so, so lovely...

Those beautiful carved harps

on her sides

 were simply to die for-

 I needed to make her a rich black
sleek, and smooth -

I so love her-
the lines, the harp, her stature!!lol-
(I'm sounding somewhat obsessive about this table!!)

I have no space for it-

possibly a table my daughter might like in her apartment-

who knows...all I knew was- it was coming home for a bath and a new hairdo,

and that's what it got!

The most amazing thing-

the price-

at the outlet it cost

 a whopping $1.99-

YIPPEE!!

crazy, I know, but crazy true!

She's a real beauty-
