Chair Love!

Isn't it strange...maybe interesting would be a more suitable word...:) when you find your niche and it's nothing like what you "thought" it would be?  I love furniture...no surprise there!  Dressers, stools, tables of all shapes and sizes, stepbacks, hoosiers, hutches, blanket chests, and foot rests clutter my storage and studio.  Throw in the occasional lamp, chandi, and magazine rack along with a chotchkie or two, and you will find me right at home.

It seems to me I have centered my picks around large pieces for the most part so when I finally realized my niche, I had to laugh to myself as this niche of mine is truly fitting to my personality.  Now you may be wondering what this niche is and how I've come to the realization that it is "my niche".  Well, it's chairs.  I have brought in several, SEVERAL chairs and they never last long.  I do my best to get them cleaned up, painted and reupholstered, but sometimes they don't last long enough for me to even get them wiped down!

I love chairs, and all kinds.  I love the ones I can curl up in with my Bitty Girl or good book and cozy blanket.  I also love the ones with the sexy curvy legs that are carved and the ones that are simply sophisticated.  Oh! And let's not forget about the ones with the tapestry's...those are beautiful as well! It doesn't really matter to me what they look like, I find beauty in them all.  Perhaps that's why chairs are my niche!

I hope you enjoy this little cutie!  She's not too old...probably about my age lol~  I replaced her padding, batting and fabric and trim after I painted her with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint Coco with a Old White was on top :)

  2. I couldn't agree more. Just with I have found my niche sooner - I'm in my 40's!! I guess it's not too late.
    Thanks for a great post.
