VINTAGE CHENILLE reupholstered french chair

 

Yesterday I showed you the *BEFORE* of a

little french chair I was working on this week.

 

The inspiration for this piece started last month in Florida.

We found a gorgeous little shop in St. Petersburg called

The shop is filled with distressed shabby chic furniture,

linens, pillows, chandeliers, and a lot more eye candy.

The first thing George did once inside was

 approach the shop keepers and jokingly said "Ill

 be back in a couple hours to pick her up"

He then continued chatting and joking with them as usual

while I ran around taking pictures of everything I could.

 

 

I just adored these chenille upholstered benches they had.

 

You can see more photos of the store here at their

 web site, and for you regulars Ill be sharing more

 of the photos I took soon.

 

First chance I got I did a little something of my own.

 

Its distressed to give the feel that it is truely an old

 piece then I waxed and polished it till it was shiney smooth.

I edged the seat with bright white trim,

and added a single button to embellish the back.

My instructions for button tufting can be found here.
