I got this wicker chair from a moving sale for $20, 2 years ago. Since then it has been sitting on the back porch. I loved it on the back porch, but I ended up redoing that over the summer and needed a place to put the chair…..perfect timing, wouldn’t you say?

Here is the chair after the first coat of primer. Ultimately, I ended up using two coats of primer, and 2 coats of white paint.

I was going to redo the seat cushion cover, but it magically matched the accent colors in the bedding, so I skipped making a new cover and just washed it instead to get all of the outside-ness off of it. For when I’m snuggled up with a delicious book, I added an afghan to the back of the chair, and the lovely purple pillow that I mentioned to y’all a couple months ago.
Remember on Monday, I showed you my closet? (Praise the Lord that is still clean!) Well, when it was all clean-up, and I could finally see the floor again, I moved my large jewelry box into the closet, and placed my reading chair where my jewelry box had been.
Here is our new reading chair

Very nice job! When we're in a home that has the space, I've always said I want a reading nook!
Take care!!
I love it Darby! I am definitely inspired! Makes me realize I need a reading chair in the bedroom to read the Bible! The transformation looks so crisp and classy! {I am just loving that picture of Tomlin, too!:)}
