To say that the husband was shocked when I asked him to help me load her up would be quite an understatement. When I got her home I immediately began to dismantle the gold upholstery.
I took her all the way down to the frame and springs and started on the finish.
I painted her white then applied a glaze.
She has great curves.
I love the cane inserts.
I purchased some good quality linen for the upholstery.
It was very difficult to get a good photo due to the placement in the room but I was very pleased with the end results.
Of course, I told my husband how much money I saved him!
I’ll be posting later in the week with the details of the floor lamp.
Have a great week!
I’ll be linking to Metamorphosis Monday at Between Naps on the Porch and Wow Us Wednesday at Savvy Southern Style.
I think that eventually our husbands will figure out that we know what we are doing. Mine is slowly coming around - after 39 years. You did a great job, and I'm sure your husband appreciates it.

ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic makeover! You've turned a bit of an ugly duckling into a beautiful swan :-) And I love the cushion on the settee - did you buy it or make it? I want one just like it!
ReplyDeleteKelly,
ReplyDeleteThe pillow on the settee came from Pottery Barn this past summer. The photos don't show, but on the wall above the settee is a framed sailing print that was a house gift from a friend so the pillow was a perfect fit.
