From DRAB to FAB - Part One

I've been looking for the perfect chair to replace an old tried & true recliner from our college days. I knew I wanted a Louis XV style chair but finding the perfect one was a hunt & a half.


I love the look of these chairs - the ornate detailing is what makes them most beautiful to me. After months of searching, I finally found the one on good old craigslist. It had been in a lady's family for over 60 years!! For sad reasons, she had to sell (& fast). This was the scariest of my craigslist encounters (use the buddy system), but for $50, it was so worth it.



Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, right? This chair had spiders underneath it! It was not allowed inside (obviously!!), so it camped out in the garage for a bit. It's all about the vision. I want you to sit on those two photos so you can enjoy the reveal next week even more.

*Hank nonchalantly thought of this blog post title for me the other night, and I love it!
