Louis Chairs STEAL.

3.21.2012

This girl got REAL lucky on St. Patty's day. I scored these Louis XV salon chairs at a local thrift store. They were originally $60 each but I told them I would give them $60 for both... and they did it! Holla!!!! Obvi it was because of my bargaining skills. I had a deal high so bad I almost couldn't drive home...

For anyone who needs to know, I got them from the "Little Shop Around the Corner" (great antique stores- incentive for people to come visit me in STL). The shop benefits the Missouri Botanical Garden, so I can feel good about being charitable as well :)

So now, the hard part starts. The hard part would be deciding on how I want to re-do them. There are so many options I am drawn to.

I love the glamour of neutral fabric with the wood painted GOLD.

This is as unexpected as the gold- neutral fabric, dark wood and RED piping.

I also like the idea of a printed fabric and painting the wood white or black.

And since I've been obsessing over this fabric lately, it could be the perfect place to use it??

So, I need YOUR help. What option do you all like? I know which one I am leaning toward but would love to hear your thoughts....

  8. I actually JUST posted on my blog about a chair that was handed down to me by my aunt. Cane back and similar lines on the actual seat.

    I am looking forward to seeing what you decide to go with, although I am loving the different colored piping!

    Love your blog!
