So the other day i did.
The target???
My dining table and chairs in the 'Pretty Room'.
I forgot the before shot with the chairs but. See i was just too excited and couldnt think straight.
All this timber is usually hidden under my Ashwell Rosebloom table cloth.....
Now it's time to say......
Two coats later...
I really wanted to get them finished this weekend but the weather is too hot for painting so i will have to wait a bit.
These are the decals im putting on the front and back of the chairs. They are from Amy @ thedecalcottage.com , she custom made this size for me and even sent me an extra sheet. She is a real sweetie and her decals are the best ever!
I also have some TO DIE FOR fabric coming from O.S to re-cover the chairs.
When i's all done i will post EXTREME MAKEOVER...THE FINALE' PICS. LOL.So make sure you pop back mid-week to see.
Now heres my gorgeous Antique Jarvi Lounge, i love it to bits (i also have the 2 lounge chairs). I have had soooo many people say Oh paint it white...to them i say this...There are some things YOU JUST DO NOT PAINT and this is one of them.
I am however totally over the covers on it, so last night i threw this vintage bedspread over it. Why didnt i do it ages ago?????
AND....a few nights ago while i was watching tv i added some Frou Frou to this pink candlelabra. I am known in my family for not being able to just sit and watch a show and do nothing...i have to have something in front of me to create. I know mums the same, maybe its genetic....
*** Oohhh I nearly forgot....i dragged Sam to some Garage Sales with me this morning and came home with a bundle of goodies. Sam even scored a free Winnie The Pooh Treehouse from a lovely gentleman who thought that Sam was just so cute and well behaved (ahhh hmmm he had him fooled alright!). But wasnt that a lovely thing to do!
I just about knocked over people to grab some gorgeous frames, i HAD TO HAVE THEM (Gail and Alicia i know you will totally understand that).
My bundle of 'stuff' ready to be transformend.
And these 2 totally shabby and awesome chairs that followed me home *grin* i know, i know, i need more chairs like a hole in the head...but how could i not?? Really, no come on....you understand dont you...???? I NEEDED THEM
Ok now i see out my office window that a storm is coming....i might just get to paint that table and chairs yet....
Hope everyone has a gorgeous weekend (we are picking up a slippery dip for our pool tomorrow..hee hee i cant wait!).
Luv N Hugz

Hi Shann, you have been such a busy bee! I TOTALLY hear you on on the knocking people over to get the treasure comment, I am guilty of it yes its true (blush). Yummy frames and I LOVE the bedspread on your gorgeous lounge. So glad to hear you are not going to paint it white as I agree there are just some pieces that shouldnt meet the white paint brush! Ooooh and the chairs, you and I both have a chair addiction I am afraid but lets hold our heads high on that one (wink!!) A girl can never have too many chairs I say!
I Am LOOOVVIINNGG the table and chairs already!! cannot wait to see em finshed bell!! Hugs to you as alays Mandii
I totally *get* the Need To Have Those Chairs lol! I've been known to raid Hard Rubbish collections also..lol
Hey sweetpea I am a chair collector too! I can't pass up an awesome chair!
Just ask hubby... the barn is full! lol
Downstate I was known as "the chair lady"!
Ouuu I can't wait to see that tableset finished! I love it already! I know its going to be spectacular!

You are on a roll girl!

XOXO, Dolly

Hi Shann! I love it all as usual! Your home is beyond gorgeous! Love the chippy chairs your found too!! I am obsessed with chairs like that!!
Love ya,
Amy
I love chairs too, but I'm over painting them, if they're already the right colour and just need a bit of a sand back that's OK. Give yourself a pat on the back for the table, looks great! No don't ever paint the lounge, I love a bit of dark timber as a contrast to all the soft colours.
Gail i scrubbed the cream coloured one and gave it a bit more of a rub back and now its in my hallway. Im with you, i loathe painting them! LOL
Love it all darling, but didn't Sam say before you went "No More Bargains Mummy!" Just think if you ever have a HUGE party, you'll have plenty of chairs for everyone - lol.
Mwah. :-}
Love those decals Shannon...so pretty and pink. Look forward to seeing the photos from the completed dining room makeover.
Hugs,
Kerryanne
Shann, what a great job on the chairs and table. You are a busy, busy girl.
Alison
Shannon, I LOVE the white table & chairs, what a great makeover. GORGEOUS decals too.
Have fun using them! ~Mary~ :-}
Love the extreme makeover you're giving your home! Those table and chairs are just darling in the white! Can't wait to see them with the decals!
And great finds at the garage sales. Those frames are gorgeous!!
That table looks great! I can't wait to see Part 2. Oh and I WOULD paint the lounge if it was me (sorry everyone haha!).
And I need those chairs! Send them to me!!! :)
Love the tables and chairs and I bet the decals will look great on the chairs. You all are going to convince me about going to yard sales. I've had a few myself but never have gone but you all find such great things. Have a great week.
Hi Shann,
Everything is Just so beautiful, I love looking at & reading your blog... Great Look on your dining room table. I need to get to work & start Painting after the first of the Year. My friend Just Bought me a Beautiful Vintage Rose this weekend, it's going over the Futon, so Your Idea were very inspiring to me, when I start my Decorating projects in Jan. I will be sure to post :)
Angie :)

I love the way the white paint changed your table and chairs. They look so much better white! It's amazing how almost everything looks better white. I love the new chairs and all of your goodies.
You have good taste!
hugs,
Laurie
Hi Shannon! Thanks for all your sweet comments on my blog! Love the make-over!!! Your home looks beautiful!
I love all your finds too! I seem to have a rather large collection of chairs too haha...and I definitely don't need most of them!
Hi Shannon,
Looks like you have been a busy girl...I can not wait to see your dining set all finished, im sure it will look lovely.
Your Jarvi Lounge looks so sweet set up like that.
Siobhan
You've been working hard! I do that too - once I've got the paint out and everything is all torn up anyhow... why not paint a few more things?! Table looks so much sweeter and the sofa is yummy. Blessings... Polly
