A very French Chair !



Just dropped in at the local Goodwill on my way home Sunday. My luck! I have seen this elegant style of chair for years and loved it. The second I saw it , I knew it was going home with me. Love the soft gold floral. Seems that a dog loved chewing on the arms , but I was not discouraged! no not I! As soon as a spot was picked for this beauty , I applied dark furniture wax which was immediately soaked in and drank up by the dry wood. The rest of the chair was just perfect. A good vacuuming and voile !

Entertaining the thought of paring down......

The sisal rug made a huge difference in the appearance of the room.

                
As you can see I have a full house. 



I love the green paint on this chair.
Now that we are grandparents, with another announcement just recently. This last week our daughter shared her good news. She and her husband were just beaming.I suddenly realized how many treasures I have all around . Not exactly child proof.  Where do I begin paring down? I changed a rug in my living room and I was amazed at how much a sisal rug calms a room.  I found these 3 chairs this last year and I am really not ready to part with them yet. Decisions, decisions...Maybe I'll start with my closet ..... Ha!
