I have given 4 very old chairs a new life.............

I have had these chairs for around 30 years. They were given to my husband and I when we were first starting to make our home. There is also an octagon table in storage that goes with them.

I did not want to use the table, but I love the chairs. They were black with gold velvet seating and backing, which I removed, and then added paint..........

When we moved to our country home, we had a dining room set...........so these chairs have been put aside.

I decided to put some life back into them...............

I got very brave and painted each one in a vibrant color..........

what do you think??............

There is a reason I painted each a different color............

I also had cross stitched these 4 pieces a  little while back. They depict the different seasons with items on a clothesline. I have always loved this design set.

So I fixed each cross stitched piece to the back of each chair..........with coordinating fabric.... 

fall...........

winter............

spring...........

summer.........

And I am going to sell them in my vintage shop. 

Don't they look cute around the table?

I am hoping someone out there loves them and will want to take them home.

How about you?

Would you dare paint something bright and wild , when it really should be neutral for what it is made for?

Have you painted a room..........or even a chair this way??
I would love to hear!
