Ice Cream Parlor Chair

IMG_1165
Well, here it is… the little chair that I rescued from the dump.   It’s not really an ice cream parlor chair but that’s what it reminded me of.   All it needed was a new cushion and to replace a missing screw and it’s good to go.

I wanted it to go at my daughter’s desk but as I looked at it, it looked like it would fit better at her vanity dresser.  She already had a bench for it but I think the chair looks nice with it too.

She can probably just use it at either.  It actually doesn’t match the desk and the dresser needs to be repainted.  She has been a bit rough on it over the past few years since the last time it was repainted.  So some painting is definitely in the future.   I’ll probably give the chair a fresh coat of paint when I get around to painting the vanity.  What do you think? Does it look better at the dresser or desk?  Any ideas on painting?

I’m in love with the Michael Miller harlequin fabric. I think it’s super sweetie!
