You know me, if it is old, primitive, and has chippy paint I am going to love it. If the chippy paint is blue I am going to love it even more. If it is $1 I am going to be over the moon about it.
It was just sitting at a yard sale waiting for me this morning and it was filthy. The lady who was selling it said it had belonged to her husband's grandmother. I think she must have had it sitting next to a coal stove because I have never seen any more black come off of a piece of furniture.
But I scrubbed it down and disinfected it and after moving some things around it is in the perfect spot.
I added a pillow I made from an old quilt and I am now loving it.
In fact, it may be my new best friend.
It is a charming chair. So happy it came home with you; the pillow is perfect!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I'm happy, too :)
Deleteit is a beauty!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Laurie.
DeleteWow what a fabulous price :)
ReplyDeleteI know, Dawn. I was amazed because everything else was overpriced.
DeleteOh Laura, it is beautiful! It is perfect and would be even more perfect in a room that I want to refinish.
ReplyDeleteHmmm. I'm definitely not letting this chair out of my sight :)

ReplyDeleteI would have bought it if I had seen it first!!! GREAT find!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Linda. Glad I saw it first :)
Deletei like your chippy.
ReplyDeleteThanks :)
DeleteIt would look very pretty with a plant resting on it too, Laura. In a sweet galvanized bucket perhaps?
ReplyDeleteBrenda
It would, but I'm thinking I might want to sit on it. It is very sturdy. :)
DeleteI love it! I would've snatched it up too. What a deal!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kelly :)
DeleteWhat a fabulous find. The chippy blue is amazing and the quilt pillow is the perfect sweet touch.

Thanks, Linda. I love old crusty things. :)
DeleteLove that - I would have snapped that up in a second too.
ReplyDeleteI'm amazed no one else saw through the dirt before I got there :)
DeleteWhat you have dragged home now, Laura is a treasure. Happy hunting!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lynn. I love the hunt :)
DeleteIt was just meant to go home with you and be loved!
ReplyDeleteI think so to,, Ann. Someone else might have painted over that original blue paint. :)
DeleteI love that you've kept it all blue and chippy! I have 2 old quilts out trying to decide if I can cut them. Oh....it's HARD, isn't it? Sweet hugs, Diane
ReplyDeleteI only cut mine if they are really in bad condition. It helps me to salvage what is left. :)
DeleteI thought my heart stopped when I saw this chair. Love the style, the blue, the distressed nature of the piece. Perfectly charming and a wonderful addition to your home.
ReplyDeleteBig Texas Hugs,
Susan and Bentley
Thanks, Susan. I was amazed no one else got it, but I guess they just don't have my great taste :)
DeleteSweet old thing / just perfect!! :)
ReplyDeleteI am a chair hound and the older and more beat up the better! I love that chair!
