How was your weekend? Mine was spent at wrestling again. Saturday and Sunday!
The kids were excited that it was finally the first of December and they could start opening their advent calendars. When my son was a toddler I actually had a homemade calendar with 24 individually wrapped presents. Now that my kids are older and in the Lego craze, all they want is a Lego calendar. Star Wars for Noa and Lego Friends for Lilly.
The only thing that bothers me about the calendars is that it makes them get up earlier to open their next door, haha! But they are special memories and I cherish them.
Today I want to share a project with you. A while ago I purchased these two 1965 vintage Thomasville chairs.
I love them I think they are fun. Aren’t they? I can picture them in a kids room, at a small bistro table in a kitchen or maybe in an all white or plain office where they’d stand out.
They will be available in my Etsy store soon. I think I want to take some more nice photos first.
LOVE this fabric, don’t you?
Talk to on Wednesday,
i think i might have just peed my pants in excitement over these chairs- they are AWESOME!
LOL oh no! And thanks!

Adorable, so fun to see them done in something other than white!
Tanks and that’s what I thought 🙂

What color is the paint on the chairs..it’s perfect!?
It is Valspar’s Hacienda Tile spray paint.
Adorable blog….
I never saw such informative blog.cheap beds with mattress sale
Nice collection..!!!Quality Beds and Mattresses
Wow I love these! Will you share what fabric you used? I am trying to redo a rocker for our nursery and have been looking for something like this/with these colors. Love the paint color too, we purchased more of a red-orange spray but might take a look at the Valspar. I am loving your blog and will spend the rest of the morning poring over your projects – nursery is mostly black and white and I just might have to do something like your vinyl hallway in the closet in there! 🙂
The fabric was from Ikea and I love it!
And thanks for the kind words
Thanks! Surprised I don’t recognize it as I usually know Ikea’s full catalog 🙂 I’ll have to look around a bit for it but at least gave me some inspiration. Have fun with the next project!!
