Okay so as promised, that beautiful $5 side chair received a makeover today. Many of you voted for yellow and that’s what we did. Here is the before picture below:

Side Chair - The Before

Isn’t the back detail and those legs gorgeous? The glossy wood finish…not so much. It looks so much better now.

Yellow Side Chair

It brightens up the wall just a little as its sandwiched between two large furniture pieces. Check out more eye candy below:

Not much else to say here : (

UPDATE: I was able to take some pics of the living room so you can see how it looks on the whole wall.

  5. Your choice of yellow really transformed that old chair. That color really pops placed between the two lighter pieces.

    Hope to see you at Time Travel Thursday this week.
