the chair

I bought this little beauty

when I bought the buffet and hutch

for the dining room that - as yet - does not exist.

I had great plans for it;

I knew it'd be a quick project,

but I was waiting on a sale for the fabric.

Then I got the fabric

but I was busy with other

more pressing projects.

Finding just the right color spray paint

proved trickier than I anticipated

and in the end

the color in the can

was a bit brighter than the color on the lid.

I like it okay

but it wasn't a perfect match.

Which is pretty much always what I'm going for.

(although - it is a closer match

than this photo would lead you to believe)

But it'll still look fabulous on my porch, don't you think?
