Thanks Cindy at My Romantic Home for Show and Tell Friday and Miss Mustard Seed Furniture Feature Friday for having your great Friday parties!
She’s here! She’s here! I won her back on February 10 and patiently waited while her previous owner arranged her shipping. I didn’t have to go back to the Greyhound station, this baby was shipped freight with R&L Carriers. She was in a huge box, paper stuffing, bubble wrapping, then this final cotton stuffed brown wrapping. It took me at least an hour to unwrap her. I’m grateful to the former owner for taking such time to protect her. She is more gorgeous then I imagined. “French upholstered wood carved chair 1900-1920” , aqua-blue silk was her description on E Bay that made me drool.
She’s down stuffed and she’s a BIG BUTT CHAIR! Remember Linda’s beautiful BIG BUTT CHAIR that Milo did over in that luscious tropical IKAT and linen? One of my favorite posts! My baby is a huge 33 inches wide, great for any big butt or 2 skinny butts. And oh my, she is so comfy. You never really know till you sit in a chair, so I consider myself lucky with this one.
See the pillow on the floor? That’s one I made from leftover silk from my bedroom curtains. The color is so close. Not too blue, not too aqua, just the perfect combination of both that I love.
My pillow... might be the same silk fabric...looks so the same to me!
She is very shabby, there were bits of paint that fell off with her packing
Pretty details
I’m moving dragging this poor chair from room to room to see where she bests fits. Here she is in my bedroom.
I’m so glad that she is here, she inspires me to finish other projects that I’m working on. I’m so slow at finishing things sometimes. Life gets in the way of projects! OR projects get in the way of LIFE!! Ha! Husband just informed me I’m entertaining for out of town business colleagues tomorrow night. So got to put away hide all my works in progress, get busy cleaning and menu planning. Happy weekend!
