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!

...for the Love of Ironstone...

I love ironstone.  I refuse to part with most of it.  Here are some of my favorite pieces around my home. 

Later in the week, I'll post pics of my space at Liberty Belle in the West Bottoms.  The sale starts Friday at 9am.  You won't be disappointed.  I've been working on an antique walnut buffet, a matching antique dining table, and 6 lyre-back chairs, which I will paint and recover the seats in burlap. 

Looking for good junkin' in Austin & my space at Vintage Market

I found this old potting bench, broken apart, and brought it home.  After rebuilding it, powerwashing it, sanding it, painting it, and re-sanding here it is.  I sewed a burlap skirt, complete with stay-stitching, and applied it with upholstery tacks.  I sorta like the hooks to open it.  It is, of course, for sale at Vintage Market.  I think it would make a great work station or even a kitchen island. 

Also, I am going to Austin, Texas soon and will be perusing shops for wares and good finds.  Do any of you have any recommendations for junking or anything else?
