Ruby Red Accent Chair

So, how's this for cute. This little chair was a mess when I found her. I loved the detail but the wood was shot and she was very weak. The bottom was marked with the name of a hotel so I figure she was part of their decor and had been used A LOT! After a lot of rehab, paint and a new seat cover she is back to her old self but better. Say hello to Ruby Red!

    1. Thanks Cynthia and thanks for visiting my blog. I agree, red is awesome and everyone should at least try it once. I am obsessed with red and have to stop myself from painting everything red (LOL). Make sure you let me know when you do. Can't wait to see what you do.
