Settee Sitting Pretty

I convinced my DH to stop by a thrift store while we were in Nashville a week or so ago.  I found this little settee and knew it had to go home with us!  It needed a little updating and I thought the pack was a little plain but it had the making of a wonderful piece!

Less than 12 hours later.... 

Ready to go to Then & Again Home Marketplace to find a new home!

I added the medallion to the back to dress it up a bit, painted it with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint's Duck Egg, distressed it and recovered the seat with some cute fabric.  

What a fun piece to work on!  Now on to the next one!

Thanks for stopping by!

Savvy Southern Style

Chair, Chair, Candelabra!

This weekend's projects included a few chairs and other fun items!  The chair below is one of three I picked up at "Then and Again" consignment shop here in Hendersonville, TN.  The chairs had obviously been stored in someone's barn or under a house.  Nasty! 

After lots of cleaning, sanding and quite a bit of work on the seat, the chair was painted cherry red and the seat covered with a black and white zebra print.  Pretty sassy little chair!!

I found another chair this morning at Goodwill for $10.  I thought the shape and details were nice but the seat was really, really dirty and stained. 

Our bedroom linens are a beautiful yellow floral so I decided to go with yellow on this one.  I found a great spray paint that is a buttery yellow ($6.50) and I found the fabric sample at Goodwill for $1.50.  Total material costs for this makeover $18.00.  I'll keep this one for awhile!

The first Saturday of the month at our Goodwill means everything is 50% off!  Besides the chair above, I found the heavy brass candelabra below for $1.50. 

A little satin nickel spray paint later and...

Much better!!!
