prettyLITTLE FALLproject

prettyLITTLE FALLproject

found these crazy retro chairs at the thrift shop today for $8 bucks each. they caught my eye and i thought they had a lot of potential for a redo. i thought with a makeover they could be great for my future apartment come january.

the prettyLITTLE plan :)

 1. strip the paint

2. repaint in a yet to be determined color ...maybe... white? taupe-ish? natural?

3. redo the upholstery ...maybe in a floral print? 

4. add a large, solid, bright pillow

(5. or flip flop with bright, solid seat, and a crazy, fun pillow)

cannot wait to start :))
