Magenta, Teal and Burnt Orange French Provincial Chairs – Tuesday’s Treasures

Hello from the busy, boisterous FunCycled world. It’s been another crazy week where I did more traveling and home decorating for my friend Marcie. Please feel bad for me, I had to leave warm sunny Florida and return home to single digit temperatures and snow. It was so so hard to do. ;) A huge thanks to Marcie for having me visit to help decorate her new home (a good excuse to get together, I’d say). Here we are, about to say hi to the famous Florida manatee.

And apparently molesting a manatee is an issue in Florida. Please just read the sign. ;)

And took just a couple of hours to enjoy the beach!

Back to NY I came after what felt like a blink of an eye. Boy do I miss Marcie and her 4 little kiddos. Now that you’re all filled in on my week, let’s talk furniture shall we?

I bought these chairs last summer because I knew what they could be. You should have seen my mom and I trying to fit these in her Subaru.  lol Funny stuff!

Here they are before.

Jessica reached out to me about a hutch for her library which became our Teal and Chartreuse Hutch Turned Library. While she was checking out the barn, she looked at this chair set and thought it would work well with her huge rustic farm house table.

I loved the lines of these chairs, but the bases of the chairs needed to be completely rebuilt. We painted each chair Benjamin Moore Navajo White, built new bases by cutting wood to the shape of the seats, added all new high density foam cushioning and reupholstered them with coordinating velvet fabric. There were a total of 6 chairs – two magenta, two teal and two burnt orange. All of those colors are in Jessica’s dining room curtains.

I can’t tell you how much fun it’s been working with Jessica. She’s such a delight! Every time I bring a new delivery, I hope for a clap and squeal of delight from her. We were walking out after one delivery lately and John looked at me and said, “Are you happy?” I said, “Yes. Why?”. “You got your clap and squeal” he said with a boyish grin. Yes, that’s what I was going for! :)

Here they are in her dining room with the chartreuse buffet that we just finished for her as well. ;)

Happy redesigns everyone,
Sarah ;)
