Easy Chair

My easy chair needed a little freshening up.





I love the upholstery, but the tired wood finish was starting to bug me.




So, I added a little embellishment to the arms.





and gave the frame my "Old World Finish".



The finish is similar to my "Weathered Chair",




I added a pillow to soften the appearance a bit, and compliment the lighter frame.  I transferred the lettering and image onto muslin to make this pillow.  Yes, I used my "Splendid Blender" method.







and the Paris theme continues.




Now, I have to decide what I'm going to do with these recent finds.




See ya soon.

  1. Rosemary the chair looks fabulous, I love the green fabric! I can't wait to see what you do with these new pieces. That chair looks very similar to the one in my living room that has the solid linen fabric on it.
