Very Sad Cane Chair



Here is a nice Cane Backchair I found at our local thrift store.  Actually I found a set of 4, Wow can you believe that.  I've had a great time painting them, but chose to do so in pairs of two. the first set I did in this creamy oil paint with a walnut stain to antique it (The other two I painted pure white, I will show in a future  post). So anywhoo with a little and a lot of TLC, I brought it back to life!

BEFORE

I covered it in a green velvet I bought as a small remnant for only $5.00 a yard, WooHoo what a Deal, right. And then glued some fringy trim all around the edge.  Now, Although I like the way it turned out, since I have painted the other 2 in Pure White, I think I will go back at some point and paint this and her matching partner also in the pure white.  Don't hold me to it of course I've been known to change my mind from time to time.
