Although she may think she is all fancy and French, I think she is probably just the kind of chair that used to hang around the motel back in the day.

It was restored and perfectly white, but it had no soul. I'm not one for imitation distressing, but good, honest wear and age is something to be worn with pride. I vote to put a pad on Lucy's seat to cover up the worst of the peeling, and you should leave the rest of her alone. Spend your time on pieces that will be improved with the attention of your paintbrush ... Luch is perfect just the way she is.Connie in Hartwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09127877285792861166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5072219918314541508.post-5073298904892112672011-07-11T17:22:41.691-04:002011-07-11T17:22:41.691-04:00Cass, you are the most delightful knutt I visit on...Cass, you are the most delightful knutt I visit on the blogs. You should have let us guess what that red thing was. I would keep Lucy as is but I am weird that way and sit on a rust/chippy patio chair and drink coffee daily at it's matching chippy table.
