New (old) chairs

My latest find at the Goodwill this week - these two chairs $5.99 each:

(This was after I recovered one of the seats already).

They are pretty good quality chairs, made for Broyhill furniture:

After some white paint and neutral fabric:

here they are in my office / library / craft room

On the "to do" list for this room:

1. 
   
   Paint the desk white, but I think leave the top with the original finish / stain, like this one  that I saw on Miss Mustard seed's blog This was a free find - picked up in front of a neighbor's house when we lived at the old house.
2. 
   
   paint the light fixture, either white or oil rubbed bronze (like this one Miss Mustard seed did).  Her blog is a great inspiration for DIY painting projects and furniture re-dos!
3. 
   
   organize the craft / scrapbooking supplies storage.  I do have a lot more things stored in my closet under the stairs, so some of this may get moved there, once I organize and get rid of some things I don't need.

Here is the current set-up that needs some de-cluttering.  The white shelf on the wall was another yard sale find - $3!

I think my favorite thing in the room and maybe one of my favorite things ever is this oil painting, artist unknown. 

I'm sharing this post on Metamorphosis Monday.
