Shabby chic chairs before and after

Hello..

The sun is finally shinning in the UK! I am really hoping it stays this way for the weekend, I have my last birthday party !! My 2nd daughter turns 8!!

I love how the sun and the warm weather makes you see things from a different perspective....

The sun reminds me of summer florals and spots !


Neither of which are in this blog post (watch this space though)...

Today I thought I would share with you my recent furniture make-over....


I fell in love with these chairs as soon as I saw them, the barley twist legs sold them!

Here they are before painting but after sanding. I also removed the nasty fabric that was on the seats.

And here are some photos of the after....

 

 

 

I orginally bought this fabric to make some more aprons, but I knew it would be perfect for this make over.

I even had enough left over to make matching cushions!!

I think they turned out really cute.

 

What do you guys think ?
