Behind the scenes

Can you imagine spending your afternoons sitting under a pepper tree on one of these chairs?

Christie and I had the chairs re- upholstered. Great work on the chair part but we were not too happy with the ruffle ....it needed something more to really make it Romantic & Rustic. Day 1 Christie came over and painted the roses, I watched her bring the roses to life. Always a wonderful experience seen her paint.

Day 2 Christie spent the morning making ruffles, three layers. In the afternoon we attached it to the chairs and finished it with ribbon.
Now they are complete!

We had a great time under the pepper tree. Christie worked on the set up, styling while I took photos.

Another great day at the TVM headquarters!

The chairs will be for sale at The Vintage Markeplace at the Oaks September 7th and 8th, 2012.
