From Orange Chair to Doily Flair

I had an orange chair. 

A pleasantly quirky, orange child's chair. 

Darling as it was, it's 50 years old and needed a little makeover.

I read a blog called Trey and Lucy.

She does all kinds of wonderfully crafty things, like projects including

spray paint and doilies.

So I took inspiration and did this:

Sentimentality makes me a little sad that the orange is gone...
It was a chair I grew up seeing in the basement of my Nana and Papa's house in the Carmel woods. 

But I think this little chair turned out so sweet and girly!

This will go in Dee's big-girl room

(how can she be ready for that already??).

I could have sanded the edges and roughed it up here and there.

But I'm pretty sure Dee will do a fine job of that herself,

along with a little help from her siblings!
