Musical Chairs
Add some personality to any room in your house with a whimsical accent chair. Portable, practical occasional chairs add so much personality to a room that I can't help be drawn to them when junking. It never matters what the upholstery looks like because with a few yards of fabric and possibly some paint, I get a one of a kind piece.
A lot of times the kitchen/breakfast nook table could use only 4 chairs for everyday use. But having those 2 extra chairs comes in handy for guest. In the foyer, flank both chairs beside a console table, put in an empty corner with some books stacked on top, pulled up to the bed for an extra nightstand. So many uses for these easy to grab seats.
By now, you know that I love to go junking! It doesn't have to be anything fancy, my kids will be the first to tell you that I brake for "junk" on the side of the road. Antique malls, barnyard sales, consignment shops and flea markets are great spots to find that one chair left over from a long ago set. With their small proportions and no frills most chairs can be reinvented to fill the space that nothing else has. Make sure its sturdy, has strong lines and clean shape, can be refinished, repainted, reupholstered and you can have a masterpiece.
Happy Decorating!
