Frenchy Chair Makeover

TGIF ya'll!

Usually, Friday nights after

Mr. Ruffles gets out of work,

we go out for dinner and spend

some much needed "us" time. 

But, this weekend he's gone working..

sooo...

I've started to "plow" through my stash

of junk awesome finds in my garage,

no better time than the present!

I found 2 of these chairs in south Florida

a few months ago.  They've sat in my garage

for quite some time, getting pushed further

and further in the back corner, all because of

my fear of reapolstering.

I recovered chair seats before, but,

never "real" reapolstering..

Here is the before:

I ripped the cording off,

(man o man there were at least a billion staples!)

stripped the chair down,

and painted 3 layers of paint.

White, then grey, and then white again.

Shabbied and waxed her all up,

and began to change her appearance.

It took me all day yesterday

and most of the morning today..

but, she's finally finished!!!

Yeah, I said it,

you're not losing it... there are 2.

But, the other one is going

to sit for a bit longer... this baby

took forever and a day!!

Literally!

I need a break.. LOL

From that...                             To this!
