Craigslist strikes again! You might remember some of these CL makeovers here and here. What can I say? I love Craigslist. I might be addicted. I might have a problem.
Anyway, I first showed you these chairs in this post. I couldn't wait to get home and work on them. I ended up only having enough time to get one done, but I love the way it turned out.
I call it an amputee because it has a twin. But the twin has arms. Lucky chair.
I took the seats off, made a few minor repairs and sanded them down.
I painted the frame in Martha Stewart's Heavy Cream and picked up this great coral fabric from Joann's. I'm hoping to have enough left to make a pillow.

I'm in love. I can't wait to finish his armed brother. (I'm not sure why these are boys, but they are.)
What do you think? Eh? Not half bad?
Sincerely,

love the fabric choice.
Beautiful makeover! Are you going to make the other one to match, or something different?
It looks so beautiful. They are gorgeous chairs, and the paint just made all of the details pop.
These are pretty! I'm looking for 4 matching shield back chairs like this for my dining room!
