West Furniture Revival: ROCKIN' ROBIN

Saturday, February 26, 2011

ROCKIN' ROBIN

was the name that popped into my head after

i painted this piece.

there she was way up high

but i spotted her the moment i walked into the thrift store !!!

before...

dingy and dirty and way up high

im glad she was because i dont think

anyone noticed little rockin robin.

or didnt want to take the time to have

someone get her down. ive gotten a

couple pieces this way.

and with a little tlc she became

part of the family.

after...

shes so beautiful i think i want to bring her indoors and use and enjoy her

inside my home...

rockin' robin

tweet tweet tweet....

yes im a little corny..

i also made the nest pillow which i posted

here..

I just love how you present your beautiful pieces. That pillow, nest and blue egg perfectly compliments the lovely color of the chair.

Why can't I ever find awesome pieces like that?? :o) I love it!!!

Looks awesome and I love the color (as always)! Great find!

Lovely, and I like the cushion you've used too. Very pretty.
KarenFebruary 26, 2011 at 4:18 PM
That is gorgeous, love the color. My daughter has that exact chair in her room in white. We bought it at Pier One about 10-12 years ago. Your paint jobs got me thinking about adding a little color to her all white room...if she'll let me LOL.

Love it! I'm trying to convince my hubby to let me paint our wicker chairs a bright orange and then add turquoise pillows. So far he's not going for it!

Don't you love when you spot something in a thrift store that you know will just be fab with a little tlc?!! It turned out so cute! Love the Nest pillow, too. I'm telling you I have to try the print technique. When I do, I'll link back to you :)

Enjoy your Sunday! xx

I am so inspired by your lovely robin egg blue trasformation. Just gorgeous! And that delightful pillow carries out the theme. I have an old wicker planter, I just wonder how it would look in a soft green. Your creatie post has opened my eyes to colored wicker!

From one furniture lover to another I just want to say I love the chair!!! The color is awesome and the pillow is great too. Check out my thrift store finds, two cute little chairs that I wanted to recover myself but I was in "Over My Head" in the unexpected.
