Hey There Delilah

I'd like you to meet Delilah, my new chair.  

Yes, I've named my chair Delilah. 

 I remember my mom playing that Tom Jones song repeatedly on our stereo.  Ok, I just looked up the lyrics.  Kinda depressing but still a catchy tune.  

 Maybe I named the chair after

The Plain White T's Delilah song: 

 "Hey there Delilah... Tonight you look so pretty!" 

 In any case the name is staying.   

I found Delilah at an Estate Sale on Thursday morning.  

Here she is down in the basement hanging out with a shabby wing back and some faded wicker.  I knew that she didn't belong there in the dark basement

 sitting there like a wallflower waiting

 for her prince (or princess) to come and rescue her.

  "Hey nobody puts my Delilah in a corner!" 

 I looked at her price and had to put my reading glasses on to be sure that I had seen it correctly.

  (OK, I had to put them on just to see anyway). 

 $55.00?  

I took a closer look.  She was recently slipcovered in this pretty floral material.  Someone had done a fantastic job with the piping and a zipper on the side. 

 SOLD!!!  In the car she went.  

All she needed was a little light and the right setting to make her a star!  

She is now in the Master Bedroom next to the Settee and the Armoire.  She's keeping better company these days.  I tried her out with a few side tables.  

What do you think?  

Blue telephone table or round wood table?

This wood table floats around the house and has a nice inlay on the top with a wire trim.  

I've had it for years.

I framed these prints yesterday.  I bought these botanicals at an Estate Sale a while back for 50 cents each.  I picked up some frames at Michaels yesterday.  They were 40% off.  I found the mattes on clearance for $2.50.  This is what they looked like when I bought them.

They had a brown inner matting.  I took that out and it also gave me a larger space for the prints.

I love the way they turned out.  I figure they cost me about $23.00 apiece.  I framed two on each side of the Armoire.  I was thinking of dry brushing a little white on the frames but we'll see.

Thanks for stopping by to meet Delilah!  

ps. see how I fluffed up her sagging seat HERE.
(Hey, it happens to the best of us)

Until Next Time,

Beaux R'eves,
