...And here she is...

Soooo... Kristie, where is this amazing beautiful chair you were bragging about in your last post? Well, here she is!

Isn't she a beauty? She looks like she might be a pinkish color but she is actually fawn. My husband and the kids think I should just leave it alone because it's in such great condition and the color isn't hideous. But once I get an idea in my head there's no stopping me...

So after much debating I've decided that I am going to go black. Why? Well, if I mess it up too bad it's less likely to show but also because I love black. Ask anyone who knows me. Black is my go to color. It's classy, always in style, makes everyone look thinner, and it helps bring out the bold in other contrasting colors. To my fellow geeks out there, yes I know black is not a color but an absence of color. Noted and still don't care, black is my favorite (non?) color.

I found a picture that is sort of an inspiration piece. Clearly there are differences between the two pieces but I think I can do a little something to make the two similar. This is a Chesterfield Queen Anne Wingback Chair... isn't it gorgeous!?

Now, I've been asking myself what to do with the legs. Should I paint them black, solid white, distressed white with black underneath, maybe silver? Still unsure about that one but if you have a suggestion please share. Also using silver upholstery tacks like in the Chesterfield picture. All I have to do now is find time (without kiddies around) and a place in the house to complete my little project. I can tell I'm getting old when I am this excited about painting furniture... Oh youth, how I miss thee.
