This is just a little sneek peek at my newest project! Now remember, I said "sneak peek" therefore no pictures of the whole chair!
Don't you just LOVE the orange velour seat?! ;-) I bought this little beauty at the flea market a couple of weeks ago. I think..no I KNOW the Future Hubster thought I was insane for wanting this chair, but he was a trooper and carried it all the way back to the car for me! I could see beyond the hideous orange velour seat, chips and cracks. The best part....it was only $5!
Yes, that's right.....$5! The man at the flea market had it listed at $59.00 originally, then $14.50..but I got it for $5!
I just love the detail and coloring!
The back of this chair is to die for, it's just so elegant.
Can you tell a girl was working on this project? ;-) There are some places on the back of the chair that needed to be bonded together again, so I got out the trusty wood glue! Gotta love the pink clips to help hold wood glue together!
I went into the fabric store looking for toile, and I came out with this lovely. I am in LOVE with the boldness of this pattern, I think that I am going to like having this in one spot. It's beautiful and I feel like it will fit in nicely in my future kitchen or living room :-) I am obviously in love with blues and yellows, they just jump out at me! I hope you enjoyed the teaser! I should be finishing up the project soon, I just need to recover the chair and it will be done. I am so excited to show you the final product :-) Have a great week everyone!

I love your chair! $5 was a steal of a deal. I can't wait to see it all fixed up with your gorgeous fabric!
Mallorie, I LOVE the chair and fabric! Someone's trash is ALWAYS someone else's treasure! The fabric reminds me of my marigold toile bedding on my PB registry! Check it out!

Five bucks? That's AWESOME!!! It's going to look so cute.
I laughed at your pinks clips! Too funny.
BTW...I left you a comment AND special recognition back on the "Baby Jonathan" post. :)
I'm so glad you love my boutique! I really enjoy it...been up and running going on 4 years. I've never had a potential customer actually ask me what they should buy! You're too cute. I have some web updates to do...hopefully this week. Have you seen the shoe bags I posted in December? Maybe those would tickle your fancy. Or...a set of designer monogrammed kitchen towels or little handbag? It's up to you! I have some new designs up my sleeve.
