A little kitchen chair & some burlap


Happy Friday my friends ~ woooo hooooo ;-)


I have been looking for kitchen chairs for my farm house table.  We picked up this one in Sparta.  I really didn't like the colours, but it was a sturdy little chair ~ soooo


Look at her now, all spiffed up with a little bit of creamy light green paint.  I love the way she looks ~


Here is another one that I painted.  Now I have four kitchen chairs.  I just need two more ;-)

I also picked up a lamp recently and the shade left much to be desired ~


I took off the outer shell and scraped off the glue ~ then I looked around the cottage and what did I spy?


some burlap and lace of course ~  I think the shade looks so cute now ~


What do you think?

Saturday and Sunday is the big treasure hunt at the Canadian Transportation Museum.  Lots of shabby chic, antique and you know, junk~!  I can hardly wait to go. 

What have you been doing this week?

(((Hugs)))

  1. How fun to collect your chairs one at a time. So much better than buying a whole set. Enjoy your weekend!
