Solitary chair

There is just something so lovely about a single rustic chair.

The older the better...

Who has sat on them over the years,

conversations they have listened to,

houses they have lived in.

Of course, I love them all the more if they are painted white with maybe a little chippy paint off here and there.

Painted odd chairs = fun

Well here are some of my eclectic chairs painted mostly white with one hit of red.

Eventually, I will paint another two which will all sit around an old farm table. The bentwood chair is definately my favourite so I will endeavour to look around for a few more of those.

As you will have noted from my last post, I have more painting to do.

Chair painting frenzy

sutton grace

absolutely beautiful things

I have been on a bit of a chair painting frenzy of late.

My dear sweet 92 year old neighbour moved out and I inherited three mismatched dining chairs, two verandah chairs plus table, two iron outside chairs plus table and four very french looking iron wrought chairs plus a very unusual brass lamp (heavy) with chandelier thingies dangling from it - all sitting in the garage.

Anyhow, I love, love, love mismatched chairs so I have painted one old original bentwood chair, white, another kind of groovy chair, white and another heavy-ish chair, red. It looks great!

My sister-in-law then kindly dropped another two wooden chairs over to me. I am going to paint one blue and the other chair pink for the kitchen room to sit around a beat up old table. This colourful request was from my daughter.
