With all the rain we had been getting in Queensland lately my thrifting seemed to be non existent. Then I stumbled across these shabby beauties. I was looking at some very similar chairs in a retail store this week all done in a lovely white wash and upholstered in a gorgeous linen, they were $300 per chair. I love these just as they are but can also see a french makeover happening. Actually I got many pieces yesterday that made me smile, I will share them over the weekend. Hope you all have a great one.

I love them just the way they are, too, but can also imagine them transformed.
Thanks for sharing!

Oh my GOSH!!!!! I sooo wish I lived near you and could come buy these from you! I ADORE them and have been looking for dining chairs such as these for so long!! Lucky lucky you to find these- I have to say, I love the whitewashed look too, but they do look amazing as they are!! I host a decorating inspiration party at my blog on the weekends if you would like to join in sometime- ENJOY those gorgeous chairs!! 🙂

Linda, WOW!! What an incredible find! Just your style too! I can't wait to see them painted. The fabric is so perfect!
For painting a cabinet……do you use a primer first or do you just sand the piece really well and then paint? I have a small light oak humidor that is just screaming to be painted white! It will look perfect in my shabby bedroom as a night stand. Any hints would be greatly appreciated!

Hard to believe you found those beauties thrifting! They are gorgeous just as they are…even before a make-over. It would be hard for me to re-do them, I think…being that they are so lovely this way. Of course, I can see them all shabby white too…sigh…what a find! Diana

I love the chairs. This is the type of chair I have been searching for to put in my dining room. I only wish you weren't across the ocean. If the chairs were for sale i would be the first at your door step.

This is one of those moments when you spot a find and want to squeal with delight and hope noone else sees you heading for them. It isnt until you get them home you feel they are yours!! Gorgeous gorgeous find Sandy.

Sandy they are just magic and I love the fabric. Is it in good nick because they would be rather nice painted that lovely French grey that seems to have a pink overtone!
I am such a sucker for anything with rose on it!

That settles it Sandy. We can never go thrifting together, ever. We would definitely come to blows,haha.
Seriously, I am so happy for you with this incredible score.
