the Celeste chair

Introducing the Celeste Chair. Isn't she fabulous.
As you remember, this is what she looked like before when I rescued her from a thrift store in Chicago....great bones, but quite lack luster.

After trying a few different shades of fuchsia, I finally found the perfect match. Allium Poof from Dutch Boy (don't you love the name). I used semi-gloss latex for that super sleek boutique feel and gave it many, many coats....like 7

Finishing her off, I tacked on a heavy, almost pique, black and white floral print. It resembles cherry blossom branches, but from some angles it looks a little animal print-ish. Something for everyone.

A real showpiece for that special nook or boudoir. It is quite lightweight, yet very sturdy with a nice roomy seat and curvy armrests. I am putting this one up in my shop later today for others to enjoy.
