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?

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......
