MEET THE NEW SHABBY, CHIPPY COUPLE...LIVING AT OUR HOUSE...

Today we had sunshine...
always a motivator...
awakening those desires to get some projects done!

Rescently brought these two home from a yard sale...

I had this upholstery fabric already...
Dave had the staple gun...
I washed the frames down...deciding not to paint.
Chippy already and I liked how they had weathered.
We have oak stools at the kitchen counter here...
tried changing it up with the chairs...
I like it but...they are much lower then the stools,
we'll see!




A fast and easy project...
2 new Chippy chairs...$12.00
HELLO !!!!!!




We both have been running full steam ahead since the wonderful news...
Trying to get everything in order around the house ...
meeting with the Liver Surgeon next monday...
Dave asked me to Thank You ALL for your amazing comments full of love and concern...
He has read every one...very humbled, we both are.
Our deepest Thanks,
xoxo~Kathy

    Hi Kathy,
    Wow, what a great find, so nice you didn't even need to paint them, just staple on that gorgeous fabric. They came out just beautifully. I like them with your lil table and they look nice at the bar but I can see what you mean about the height.
    So glad you have both been so blessed by all those that care about yall and all those wonderful prayers going up. I shared your story with our friends who just found out about his cancer, and it was an encouragement to them!!
    Have a great week, know yall must be just savoring this blessed time of good news!!
    Keep us posted hon,
    Blessings, Nellie

    How wonderful that you've received such good news -- praying for many healthy years ahead with your love. Thanks for such a sweet visit -- I love vintage linens for their quality and workmanship. It's always fun to find something old and give it a new home.
