2 "chairs" for Amy....hip hip hooray!

I think the wonderful thing about blogland is making all kinds of new friends. One of my newest bloggy friends is Amy from The Maisy Report. She actually lives kind of near me and I went to her garge sale the other day. She was kind enough (being the good bloggy friend she is!) to sell me these 2 chairs for a steal. 2 lost and lonely chairs painted gold in the 1970's  was right up my alley. Amy had already done the hard work too and stripped the old fabric off (Isn't she the best????).. So a clean coat of white paint and a little decoupage... Each one got it's own bit of  a butterfly print and a reupholster.
Which reminds me..As you may know, I have a passion  for botanical and insect prints. It's one of my art mediums.... so if you are like me...Shhh..here's a little secret. If you completely LOVE these prints from Ballard designs, but they are way out of your price range...

  4. They ARE nice. What's even better in my book, is that they are already completed!! I'd have been procrastinating for months by now! Great job!

    Thanks for posting the link to all posters for the prints. I love them! I wonder if that's where Ballard bought them. What a price difference!
