Wreath On Chair

Wreath on chair?  I'm back to working on my living room. Only now, I have to work on Christmas touches as well.




I have two of these vintage chair frames.  Hubby picked them up at an estate sale for a VERY reasonable price, because, as you can see, ya can't sit on them. They have a great sculptural feel, and chippy old paint.




At some point, I'll add a seat and back.




For now, one of them makes a nice frame for my eucalyptus wreath.  I stuck one of my gesso birdies in it.

This says Christmas........doesn't it? LOL




I'm going to put something on, or in the seat opening.  Not sure what yet.  I see some of you are all done with your Christmas decor.  I need to get moving.  I'm about to start decorating my tree, and break out my Nativity set.




Formulating an idea for large angel wings.  I'll let you know if it works out.  Simple, but festive, is what I'm going for.

  2. Your chair frame is a real beauty. I love its "bones" and the wreath is a perfect touch until you get a seat in it.

  11. Your chairs are fabulous, Rosemary. I have one similar with no seat. I set it next to our tree every year and put a large package across the empty seat and then I pile packages on it and under it, just leaving the beautiful carving to show. I just love the sculpting of the wood. Good luck with your decorating. I'm not done yet either.

  20. Great chairs, Rosemary! I can just see how fantastic they will look done. Might as well incorporate them while they wait for their makeover. I think adding the wreath is a nice idea.

  24. Awesome! I adore those chairs (I'm on a chair hunt)! I think a bucket filled with something would be great in the seat. Can't wait to see what you come up with!

  25. I love the chair, I would have grabbed it too. Beautiful wreath.

  26. What a gorgeous chair (frame)! I like it in its current state--the lack of a seat means that the chair would accommodate my bulging bottom without the dreaded "spillover" effect!

    My goodness, Rosemary, don't say that you "stuck" one of your adorable gesso birdies in your wreath! I prefer this version: "I ever-so-carefully and thoughtfully tucked one of my gesso birdies within the aromatic branches of my eucalyptus wreath."

    There! Much better!: P xoxo
