QUIRKY CHAIR is Number 5.
I used french book pages to disguise flaws,
and add artistic flair to this chair.
Number 4, EASY CHAIR.
I only changed the frame of this piece,
but it made a difference.
At Number 3 is, FOOTSTOOL w/FRENCH TOUCH.
It started out pretty plain.
After some transferring, and paint, it had far more character.
Number 2 is, GREY WASHED STAND.
I loved how this one turned out.
NUMBER 1?
Way out in front, with comments, and views, is, WEATHERED CHAIR.
The before definitely didn't thrill me.
Much better.
Okay, even though it didn't make it into the Top 5, I have to re-visit this labor of love. The title of the post was THE BEFORE, cause the after was quite dramatic. Do you remember this one?
The before.
I made a top, added beading, embellishments, paint, and......I had to give it a shout out. I really put my heart into this one.
I'm off to do a little more reviewing. See ya soon.

ReplyDeleteRosemary,
ReplyDeleteI love this recap of your year. These pieces are all so gorgeous I love them all, but that chair that you redid first.
When calculating your views did you consider the dates of the posts? Some of them surely should have higher views....all of your pieces are fabulous!
ReplyDeleteThese top picks are over the top beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteI'd still have to say #5 is my #1.

You are such a whirlwind of talent! There are a lot of furniture transformations I missed this year! Thank you for recapping. I love that French Stool, sometimes it is the small things that make such a big impact! Thanks as always for sharing. -K
ReplyDeleteLove it all--but #5 is my favorite. Love that chair!
ReplyDeleteI think they are all fabulous but I agree that no. 1 is the best transformation. I just can't believe you weren't thrilled with that before. :o) Happy New Year Rosemary...Ann
ReplyDeleteRosemary,
ReplyDeleteI wanted to stop by and wish you a Happy New Year!
I LOVE that heart shaped chair! I am addicted to vintage chairs. My husband cringes every time I bring home another... that I couldn't "live without"!
Best wishes.... my friend!
