A couple of summers ago my husband and I walked around the neighborhood during our community garage sale weekend. We happened upon this chair in a driveway. I loved the caning, shape, and size. The family just wanted to get rid of all their stuff (and I get that!) so they offered the chair to us for $6.00. Well, how could I pass that up? So Hubby carried it home for me. I didn't do anything to the chair that summer, but last summer when I was redecorating our guest room I got the chair out.
As you can see it was dark wood so I primed it and then painted it several coats of a low sheen white. Then I made a new seat and covered it with a rose print in off white and dark pinks. I love the chair but it doesn't fit well in the guest room. Fortunately, we redecorated our family room this Fall and it fits perfectly nestled in a corner between the fireplace and my new bookcases.

You did one heck of a transformation on that chair. It is beautiful.
How cute your hubby carrying it home for you. You did a great job. I'm sure painting the back part was difficult. I really like it. And I'm happy you found a home for it!

Hi Kathy,
You did a great job.

Isn't it amazing how a piece of furniture someone has tossed aside can be given a new life with a good vision and some creative skill? I lack the skill to transform furniture the way you have done, but I love seeing this kind of result...its just beautiful now. :-)
Pretty chair! Great job on refinishing it.
You made this into a beautiful chair! And what a great deal:)

I like garage sales, too. You did a great job on that chair. I'd like to learn how to change the fabric in a chair like that. I'm not much of a seamstress.

Hi Kathy! I'm finally saying "Thanks" for visiting my blog and leaving a comment. My name for my grandchildren is "Mimi" also...and I love it. Your chair makeover is fabulous! Love it! I just participated in Metamorphosis Monday and created a Shabby Chic look on a piece of furniture I don't even know the name of. It's so cool...check it out and let me know what this type of stand might be called. ~CC Catherine @ http://catherinesteacups.blogspot.com
