From Antique Couch to Vintage Charmer

by Kat =^.^=

Oh I found her at a small yard sale, standing on end way back in the corner of the dark garage! "Yes!" he said, "she was my Grand Dads and she was for sale!" thought, what great bones! She was in perfect antique vintage condition, oh lucky me!
Homemade chalk paint in a lovely white, sanded and waxed, original cushions were professionally upholstered with my antique table cloths and an old white chenille bedspread; each cushion has a different front and back so she has many looks. She is now so inviting and comfy and makes a statement just on her own under my covered patio. I love her and her new look! I love to re-purpose the old vintage finds into something you can use!
