Project: Rose Throne

As IF I don't already have enough on my platter as it is, along comes the chance to make something quite awesome. I am SUPER excited about this project that is beginning to develop! It is much bigger than many taken on before it. AND I know that patience is something that I will have to use if I want the outcome to be what I desire. In my work travels I stumbled and fell for this set of four chairs. As if the curvature of the body or their respectful age weren't enough to tug my heart... the etching at the top sealed the deal. :)
I have done as much as I can to this particular one for the time being. There are of course three more that need the same tender loving care!!! That should keep me busy for a minute. Then it will be a matter of construction... That part will take the longest of all. However, I hope to have the project complete by, say, late March, early April: and totally look forward to the challenge!!

Enjoy the first of many pics to be taken of these chairs! The first half are the before photos: straight from the job site. The second are after I dusted and polished as best I could... I think it turned out pretty good!! :)

I just really loved the way that this first pic turned out...

Showing off her curves... :)

And this is what I fell for... <3

QUITE dusty...

and, yes, hideous upholstery...

Definitely some sanding in store...

After some time, the beauty finally broke free!

Can not WAIT to work with these!!

I am happy that at this early in the game, they turned out so well cosmetically. Let's hope we can say the same when the re-construction starts...

:) Until next time...
