A great find (or two...)



Recently I happened to stumble upon these chairs on Craigslist.... I loved the lines, the carving details and I loved even more the price.... I immediately emailed the person, and received a reply that someone was coming to pick the chairs up soon.... I pouted.... Then, the following day, I get a call (I always include my phone number in my emails, just in "cases" - sorry, I couldn't help using a favorite line from a favorite movie, "Love Actually"!!!). The chairs were mine!!





These chairs will be getting the "french" treatment, hopefully in time for Farm Chicks... Stay tuned!!

    I would take these in a heartbeat! I know once I see them given the French treatment, I'll want them even more! Great find. :)

    Oh my goodness~ LOVE that you found 2 of those gorgeous chairs!! I am pretty sure I have that same chair!! The frame, carvings and scale look identical - I recently found it at a thrift store and reupholstered it already, but debated about the frenchy treatment...I was leaning towards that but didn't do it. So I can't wait to see how yours come out!! Might be re-doing again! lol! :)

    I'm curious to see what sort of treatment you decide upon. If they were mine, I would want to paint the wood, but I don't know how to upholster furniture so that would be about it for me. I'll be checking back to see what becomes of your fantastic finds!
