A little French bistro chair…..

 

bistro chair 025

I have wanted a little French bistro chair

for ages but have never

been able to find one at  any of

the shops around here.

Imagine my surprise when

I found this one

the other day and for only $20 .

As you can see it is

a little on the

wonky side but I can live with that!

The after:

With a little white

paint and some sanding……

Here you can barely see

some lettering on

the slats on the backside of the chair.

  9. It looks great, Des! I think Courtney at French Country Cottage found some at Kmart {or Walmart, one of the two} and painted hers. So you could always go that route if you want more. I love a chair like this in a bathroom holding towels or a fluffy terry robe!

  13. I just love this chair. Though, my kids would insist on sitting on it and would probably break it on its first day!

  18. I love your little chair & what you have done to it. I have an old wooden folding chair that was my Grandpa's. I've thought about painting it...but can't bring myself to do it. I may blog about it someday & see what someone thinks about it. Keep that warm air coming this way!
