I have a love for vintage chairs! I think I have more chairs, then tables or places to put them!! But, I just can't stop buying them! They just always call out to me and say, "take me home!!"
Well, my sweet mother-in law bought me this beautiful rose chair from a thrift store last week. I have a dining set of similar chairs with the engraved rose, that I bought last year from the same shoppe. For those, I painted them black to match my vintage black drop leaf table, and reupholstered the cushions. I'll have to show a picture later. :)
So, for this sweet chair I decided to leave the finish, at least for now, and just reupholster the cushion. I love taking off the original cushion, and finding actual soft, cotton for the padding!! I know someone had changed the fabric already, so I was happy that they left the real cotton, underneath!
And, now she has a pretty yellow rose fabric! This is one of my favorite prints from the talented Heather Bailey!! I bought it in every color scheme she had when it came out!! This was used at my wedding for a table topper. Each table had a different color, and print. Here's a wedding pic of our special bride and groom table !!

So, now I just need to find a sweet, little resting place for my new chair!! Hope you have a wonderful Thursday!! :)
I love the rose carving on the chair and cushion pad matches perfectly. Your jars are lovely too - great as vases.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jacqui! The chair was already so pretty, it just needed a splash of color! I love using jars for vases, they display flowers so well!! Hope you have a wonderful day!! xo Heather
DeleteMy grandmother had those same exact rose chairs. They bring back wonderful memories. Love the fabric choice. Super sweet.

ReplyDelete{I too have a thing for mason jars, especially the blue ones!) When my daugher in law and son got married in October, we hung them from the end of each row of chairs for the ceremony and filled them with daisies.
Love Love Love!
PS: Your etsy shop looks terrific!
The blue ones are so beautiful!! I always keep my eye out for them at estate sales, and just got another one last Friday!! How pretty would a mantle be covered in them!! That sounds absolutely beautiful!! I am sure those jars added such a special touch at your son's wedding!! ;) xo Heather

DeleteYou had to have had the most original wedding decor ever! Isn't it fun? I love doing the decor when my kids get married. Now my 14 year old granddaughter has called dibbs for me to do hers someday....hopefully far, far into the future. =D
ReplyDeleteThank you!! I loved decorating and making everything for my wedding!! It is so much fun! How sweet is your granddaughter!! Love it!! Have a great Friday!! xo Heather
DeleteThat's funny I do too...having a lot of chairs around but not enough tables! lol. I absolutely love you wedding decor! What a great idea, for our wedding last June we did a vintage theme and it turned out great. Wish I had thought of using different fabrics too...Or even making table clothes out of vintage hankies!?! Now that would be sweet too! We used several lace table clothes for ours :) Mason and Ball jars = a must with the theme :) I hope you have a great rest of the day Heather! xo Holly
ReplyDeleteI am glad I'm not the only one!! ;) Thank you, I had so much fun decorating and making everything!! Congratulations!! Your wedding sounds beautiful, and I saw some of the pics from your blog, too!! So pretty!! That would be sweet. I still think of what I could or should have done, too!! We just had our 2 year this month. Boy, does time fly by!! Have a great Friday!! xo Heather
DeleteI love the picture of your wedding table....I can't decide what I like best about it........the colors of the floral cloth, the mason jars, or the puddingstone wall (was there a fireplace?) in the background........it's all just lovely!!
ReplyDeleteOh, thank you Fran!! Your so sweet! It was such a special day, and so fun to decorate!! Have a great Friday! xo Heather
