A Very Slow Kitchen Transformation

Wouldn't it be nice to be able to plop down $25K and transform a kitchen at once?  For most of us, it the changes happen in small increments.  Like new kitchen chairs, which I scored at Good Juju this weekend for just $97.50 for all four.  Yes, that's right!  There were some stains, most of which I was able to remove with my little green machine.  But overall, they're great and what I've been dreaming of.  Besides, we'll add stains to them ourselves!

I love the change!

One of the next projects - a new chandelier!



Wallflower Chair Makeover

It's amazing what sandpaper, paint, wax and burlap can do!  This chair is shown in the photo below.  See the green chair.  Yep, that's it.  It's now gracing the presence of Good Company in Merriam, just in time for the weekend sale. 

No one paid attention to it before - I had it in the Gypsy Flea Market and it was the wallflower of the sale.  Now...let's see if anyone falls in love with it!

My Find of the Week

Finding a set of 6 matching antique chairs is quite unusual.  I don't normally buy antique dining chairs!

But...when I found 6 (only 3 pictured) with the original red leather seats I couldn't resist.  I got them at a great price.  Don't you love the studs!

They are going to Liberty Belle on July 1st!
