Gothic Dining Chair...A Pair!

I found the vintage Gothic chairs together, In a favorite shop.  The finish was all but gone, and they were upholstered in a purple red vinyl {GASP!!!} After allot of sanding, painting and glazing, this is where we landed.  I would love to see them with a big old gateleg table...did I ever mention that I love gateleg tables too?  I do.  I found the fabric in Chicago, and got enough to cover all of the other Gothic chairs I hope to someday find, filling out the rest of a set for dining...unless they find another path on their own. Different Gothic chairs surrounding a big old gateleg table.  I can just see it now, can you?

French Desk and Chair

This was a set from the beginning, in very bad shape when I found them.  They needed me, I wanted them...it was a good match I guess you could say.  I owned the set for a long time before I decided what I wanted to do with them, though I did know from the beginning that I wanted a black ground to work with. I love the primitive checks, I love the swarovski crystal knobs. I still want to paint some flowers on the back of the desk, pulled from the fabric that I have had the chair upholstered with...unless someone stops me...small photo shows green on green tiny stripes...sweet! 

Vintage Black Toile Chair

Vintage oak farm chair rescued by a hand painted distressed black finish and a comfy seat upholstered in a black and cream toile.  I found two of this chair, so I made a matched pair.

Hand Painted Gothic Garden Set

Something a little bit different today.  When I found this old Eastlake table and two gothic chairs at a favorite local haunt, they were actually in two different buildings, and in pretty bad shape. The original finish was all but gone, along with the original glue that held them together.  I found the chairs first, then  stumbled upon the table on my way to see about another chair.....I love quaint, elegant chairs for some reason...... someday I will post a photo of my chairs in waiting...  Anyway,  I thought they would make a sweet set for a small space, as the chairs tuck nicely under....so I rescued them.  After repair work I decided upon this aged cream and leafy green finish to tie them together.  A nice little vintage set with a new life to live......
