If you remember my post about my flea market finds, you’ll remember this chair I found that day.
While looking at the furniture in this particular booth, I found a chair I liked and considered buying, but I kept looking through the booth at the rest of the furniture for sale. When I saw this beauty I fell in love with it. It has so much character – much more than the first chair I had looked at and consequently passed on. The legs on this chair are just so cute. I knew I had to have it. I asked the man selling it if he’d accept $10 less than the ticketed price and, to my surprise, he said yes! I thought he’d haggle with me, but he just said yes! I handed over my money and that baby was mine!
As I walked out of the booth with my new treasure tucked under my arm, my mother-in-law says “Would you be willing to paint that chair and sell it to me?” Talk about an easy sale! I was originally planning on painting and selling the chair anyway (although I’m still in search of a shop in which to sell my painted furniture), so the fact that I “sold” it 30 seconds after I bought it made me quite happy! I showed my mother-in-law the Annie Sloan Chalk Paint colors and let her pick out which ever color she wanted. She really liked Cream, so we went with that. After some paint, a little distressing, and clear wax, it is ready to go to its new home!
I love this chair and wish I had a place for it in my own home, it’s just so darn cute! But, I suppose I can “visit” it at my in-laws’ house whenever I want! ;)
