Fit for a Queen

Here is a photo of the next chair in line for re-vamping. I've have it sanded, am replacing the finial on top and will soon be painting it a GORGEOUS deep crimson  color, which  I'm pulling from a fabric I posted earlier by Anna Maria Horner (LOVE her!) The fabric shown will be used on the upholstered seat; the large flower will almost fill up the seating area.

I actually have 3 of these chairs--the one here, shown with the low arms, and two with no arms, but still have the high cane back throne-like feel. All are in good condition, especially after a couple minor tweaks.  My plan thus far is to make the two w/o arms a similar look to the one with arms, but use a slighty different color palette. I'm excited to being able to move forward on all 3 of them! I'll post more "in progress" photos as I, well, make progress!

 On a side note: If I met you at he LA Flea Market yesterday, thanks for stopping by and chatting, and for your interest in my work! Thanks for all the lovely compliments! Keep checking back, as I will be adding more. (These types of projects for me are addicting, and I love to keep planning new ideas, and hopefully create more things that bring a smile to people's faces. Hence the name "Very Happy Chair"). Make a fabulous day for  yourself, and thanks again for stopping by the booth (and here, too!).
