French Chair Makeover & Saturday Sale Preview

Sometimes we think we are just so clever, but for some reason our customers might think "Not so much"! When we covered the seats of these great chairs with vintage canvas bank bags, we were sure they would be a hit...We always love the contrast of formal & casual. We were inspired by similar items in a high end boutique in L.A.
We just knew the ones with Texas motifs would sell.....but priced at only $59.00, they did not sell.
So time for a makeover, and since we will be having so much great Frenchy Blue and Blue Gray furniture this sale, now they will fit right in...Love the wonderful detailing, antiquing, and a french blue undercoat....Oh and the upholstery could not be more gorgeous. So how much do you think they will be now?Here is just a few more sneaks of the Saturday Sale. It is still very hard to take good photos because furniture is still piling up.....It's getting a little hard to breathe!
This was an original dry sink from an old hotel..........(reinvented, of course).......
Oh my goodness, take a look at this twin headboard......
Hard to tell, but this is the coolest 1920s armoire. The door is carved, curved wood.

Join us for just one more day of Fun in the Sun at The Red Shed! We will see you Saturday Aug 29th, 8AM!
Next post....fabulous handmade altered treasures available only on Saturday!
