Tres Chic....?
I spent all day Saturday recovering two chairs....when I bought these they were painted brown and covered in a 'horrid' blue fabric, which was totally out of scale and not at all to my liking! I've had them pulled to pieces and repainted for a very long time and as I'm wanting to finish the 'grand salon' it finally came to the day when I HAD to recover them!.....This did not prove to be an easy job, I did one chair and was not at all pleased with it, so...once again...pulled all the fabric off and started again....finally I think I have a result I can live with!!...may have to 'age' them a little...(because I'm sure they have aged me!!)

Thank you Sara, I did recieve your email...I was going to make it and do a post on my blog, but time has not permitted me to do so as yet .... hopefully soon.

Well, it was certainly worth all your time and effort - it looks beautiful! I love seeing someone take something very ordinary and make it extraordinary.
Linda, the chair is just gorgeous! I can't wait to see the whole room come together . . .
The slippers are so pretty! I made a few pair myself some time ago for my winter cottage . . . Mr. and Mrs. Claus were most grateful! LOL!!
Thanks for sharing!
