Craigslist Finds: Pair of Victorian Chairs

Some more items I found the other day on Craigslist, Hawaii!!

Thought I'd start sharing how I'd redo the pieces if I bought them (for myself or a client)...

{For my own home I love the pairing of traditional Victorian/colonial style pieces with exotic prints like this one...Diva Charcoal (funny)}



Pair of Victorian Style vintage chairs for only $20
I'd paint the chairs gray - Martha Stuart, Bedford Gray
Then I'd reupholster the seats using this modern floral fabric, from Calico Corners, Dahlia Dove, $22.99 yard. There would still be enough fabric to make a throw pillow for another chair, sofa or bed!

Just a little side note: My husband and I lived on Dahlia Ave. for almost the first five years we were married!
