These poor old chairs were spotted, lurking in a stack of shabby sadness at a Canterbury car boot sale one cold, wet January day. They were my first real foray into working with decoupage on larger items. I had no customer for them and very little space at home, so it may have been a bit daft to get them, but I just didn’t feel I could abandon them there, looking all bedraggled and sorry for them-selves, when I knew they had so much more to offer.

I loved their curved lines but wasn’t so keen on the very poor paint job and general wear and tear. Mind, at £20 for the set, they weren’t going to be much to look at, were they?

Luckily, once given a colourful overhaul, they sold quickly on-line and, in fact introduced me to someone who has since become a regular and much valued client.

If you’re interested in something along these lines, whether a single chair or a set, in the style and colours of your choice, please do get in touch.
