WELCOME TO MY BLOG

 I bought this chair at a garage sale last summer. I pulled it out (from underneath all the other "great finds" waiting for their transformation!) and went to work on it. This is it in its prior life:

 

I primed it and painted it off white. Then, I used a glaze over it (Ralph Lauren smoke). I really am happy with the results. Hope you like it, too!
