Le Pair of Chairs

A Pair of Chairs....

Chairs are on my favorite Redoux to do.  You can almost never have too many chairs.  Chairs can be stately, whimsical, frilly, utilitarian, the list is endless.

I love plain wood chairs, they are just waiting to be dressed up.  

I had the first chair for years.  Originally it was a "free to me" when someone moved.  The chair didn't make the cut for moving truck.  It lived for a long time in my playroom looking like this:

(I took the before picture a little after I got started....)

Oh, and this was the pad, um, yuk.  

And Voila, this is the chair after, 2 coats of ASCP Graphite, a graphic from "The Graphics Fairy" and a little transfer using "Citrasolv"  (you can check their website for how to do ink transfers, it is amazingly easy).

Why didn't I do this a long time ago?  So regal and lovely now, it is heading to PFM for this weekend's sale.

Chair Number Deux
A little number I picked up from my local Goodwill for about $5, thank you Gail from My Repurposed Life  for encouraging me to try a $5 limit on purchases for Redoux!

Here is my bargain after.  1 Coat of ASCP Graphite, Pure White and Emperor's Silk on Base, details, and writing.  A nice coat of wax and we are ready to tell someone to "S'ASSEOIR"!!!
