Z Chair Refinish.

In early January my husband and I scored a pair of mid century modern Z style lounge chairs.  I never thought I'd own this chair but poof, there they were on Craigslist (a pair no less!) and somehow I was the lucky first responder.

Because I was hugely pregnant when we picked them up my husband did the refinishing.  I got to stain it, but was sad I could not partake in the stripping or sanding.  Luckily we have 2, so I'll do the second chair.  Here's how the first chair came out.  We only have space for one in our living room at the moment...

Before: 

Stripped and Sanded: 

Stained:

Before:

After:

Finished:

We're going to have new cushions made as soon as I get a chance to hunt for the perfect upholstery. In the meantime I'm using vinyl cushions from another chair.  The cushions these chairs came with were too large.   

What do you think of the finished product?

Mid Century Modern Bedroom Set.

It's been awhile since I've posted because it's been all about my sweet baby boy, who is now a whole month old.  But, this bedroom set brought me out of mommy hood for a second. I just had to share:

As seen on Los Angeles Craigslist "Paul Evan Style Bedroom Set" $1899





I've determined its the Brasilia style sweeping lines that I love.  Pretty fabulous huh?
