Frumpy To Fabulous...Guest Post...A Perfect Gray

I am honored to have Donna from the blog A Perfect Gray as my first guest blogger.

A few weeks ago I was reading her blog and read her post on her New Bergere Chair.

It is the perfect Frumpy to Fabulous...and so I thought...this is a must for my weekly Frumpy to Fabulous series.  If you have not read her blog it is a must for your daily read list!!!

Here is her post on her New Bergere Chair...

Donna from A Perfect Gray

Oh, I do love a great piece of furniture at a great price.

One of my favorite things to do is scout around thrift and antique shops for a piece with great bones. 

I had some luck not too long ago in finding a french-style bergere chair that needed just a little love.  

  

my thrift store bergere chair - after! 

before!

all the detailing on the chair made it perfect for paint and glaze

I had been itching to try Annie Sloan chalk paint - so I went for the Paris Gray, of course.

Annie Sloan paints don't require priming or sanding. Yes!

  

I painted the chair and finished it off with a Ralph Lauren glaze.

Then I had the chair reupholstered.

I am an absolute nut for graphic black and white designs, so I didn't go the usual route and cover the chair with a solid linen, like you'd expect....

Here is the after:   

 The fabric adds such a punch to my otherwise neutral space...

Now, I love my chair.

A great piece...at a great price!

Donna, thanks so much for having me over at your place today!
