New things to look at!



Check out these two beauties!  I have been working on rescuing furniture for a while now, but these two decorative chairs are the first that I have lovingly re-dressed with a view to selling them on. 

The pale blue and white one on the right was very, very close to becoming firewood as it was in a terribly sad state.  I sanded it back, threw away the horrible tired upholstery, primed, painted and varnished (with eco-friendly matt varnish) and hey presto!  The new upholstery was made from a recycled sweater from the British heart Foundation shop, and its really soft and pretty.

The pale lilac chair with the olive green Heilan Coo's was an extra chair from a set.  An odd set of chairs is undesirable, so this one was due to be destroyed too.  Again, I sanded it back, primed, painted and varnished the chair and embellished it with uniform Highland cows. 

The chairs are cute and trendy, and would make an excellent addition to a cool eco-savvy home.

I hope you find them irresistable.

Be good!
