Country French Paintings

I hope everyone had a wonderful relaxing Mother's Day today! The hubby made a wonderful breakfast for me and my mom, the kids put a show on for us and then my mom and I did a little shopping for her upcoming trip. I wanted to share with you these beautiful country french paintings that I just purchased from a fellow blogger friend. Ann from http://onsuttonplace.blogspot.com she's selling some of her treasures on her blog , it's called Ann's Attic. Let's take a look at my new favorite finds....

Thank you Ann for making your old treasures my new favorite ones!! Martina
I am sure a lot of you already know Ann and her wonderful blog but for those of you who don't I thought I'd give you a little peak of her beautiful home so you can go on over to say hi!!http://onsuttonplace.blogspot.com

A Chair Makeover

 This is the chair that I use by our desk in our sitting room or should I say little Miss Victoria's playroom! I found this chair years ago in the Christmas Tree Shop. When I bought the chair the color was very similar to the desk and few months ago I decided to paint and distress it black. Sorry I don't have a before pic. Last week I noticed the cushion was getting worn so I found this pretty B/W check fabric in Hobby Lobby to recover it in.

                                                 Before

             You can see where it was wearing around the edges

                            It also needed a little reinforcing

                                       And here's the after

Thanks so much for stopping by, have a great weekend and a Happy Mother's Day to all you terrific mom's out there! Martina
