I found a pair of these Mid-Century cane armchairs at an Estate sale. They were leftovers from a previous estate sale, probably because that gold velvet upholstery was in very sad shape. Even though the wood frame was in perfect condition, I ultimately painted them because I thought they would look better with the green & white ikat fabric I had chosen.
Fast forward through the stripping, painting, cutting, stapling, gluing and cussing, and this is what I ended up with.
And wouldn't you know just the day before I finished these up I came across the perfect vintage lamp to coordinate with them.
Do you remember my dresser makeover a few weeks ago?
It occurred to me that with just a few accessories and pillows, you could literally build an entire room around these pieces.
Look for the chairs and lamp to mingle with the dresser at my booth at Merchants on Main this week.
Don't you love it when things come together so unexpectedly?

So lovely!! I have a chair I need to tackle but don't know where to start! Your dresser is gorgeous with them :)
Seriously swoony Kim! I see those chairs all the time and think they would be so cute done like yours but for me the cussing would get out of hand, lol! I don't think I could do that. I love the complete room too.
