Wicker chair makeover

I have been absent lately, family coming to town....

means major housecleaning

and unfortunately I have missed visiting all your blogs

but here is a peak oh boy... peek......at a project I am up to.... 

and I plan to be on the train tomorrow visiting all of you.

in the meanwhile

I found this lovely antique chair for $25 on kijiji.

My daughter is planning on being in an apartment in the fall so

we are slowly gathering pieces that can be part of that space for her....

 the plan is to paint it black and re-upholster the back and the cushion with some lovely material

that will make this piece come back to life.

The wicker is in excellent condition and will look fabulous after a paint job

and the material is dated
but that too is an easy fix.
 I have never seen a wicker chair like this but it has the original springs in the seat which are surprisingly in great condition too!
The woman said that it was her grandmother's reading chair.

so, the after shots will follow....

hope you are all enjoying lovely weather as we are.....

Surprising how the beautiful sun has allowed us to sit on the deck
and look at this.....  it is melting though.....
