My Little Red Chair

I was so excited when I got this chair!! It belonged to my Mother-in-law, who hadn't even been able to sell it at a garage sale for a dollar!!! When I showed interest in it, she was more than happy to give it to me! The minute I saw this bundle of potential, I invisioned a red chair! Since I'm still fairly new at this, I spent entirely too much time sanding it down and then the painting took hours longer than I had anticipated! But in the end, I had a gorgeous little chair for my computer desk! The fabric was bought at Hancock Fabrics from the clearance shelf and it couldn't have been more perfect! It was exactly what I had pictured! (Again, I have to ask you to ignore the quality of the pictures. I'm going to ask a photographer friend of mine for some tips, so hopefully the next pictures I post will look more professional)

 Primed- which I had to do on my kitchen table so that my boys wouldn't get paint all over themselves
 And the finished product!!!
