Here is my first participation with a thrift store find. Have I ever mentioned there was a time I had a shabby chic room? Now you would never have thought that in comparison to our current style. Our guestroom in our South Florida home was shabby chic from head to toe…I adored it, and it was a great place for guests to relax. When we moved to the Carolinas I thought I would change it up a bit. One birthday my husband had given me this very cool shabby chic chair to go in our former guest room, he found it at a thrift store in South Florida that specialized in Shabby chic finds. When we moved here I had him store in our attic. I seriously thought I will never use it, however, it did have meaning to me…the fact that he was so thoughtful to buy it. The other day a light bulb went off and I remembered the chair was up there, so I asked Mike if he would pull it down for me. I know he was thinking, oh geez another project! Yep it was, fun, simple and totally transformed……
This project took me all of 30 minutes. I bought the fabric at Hobby Lobby for $3.00. The paint I used was espresso color……
This fabric is so me…I love how everything came together, my recent lamp redo which I will show you later on this week, and this chair, is totally custom to me!
ties into the bedding……which I will be showing you more of our guestroom soon
This is the after, it looks like an entirely different chair.
Just a sneak peak into the guest room….I have a fun project I am working on…..
So let the party begin, what have you found lately? I will be linking up with some more awesome parties this week: Thanks so much to all these lovely hosts. PLEASE remember to link your post back to my party as well if you are participating. And be kind and check out few other of these awesome posts. These gals are so kind and I am sure they will do the same for you in return.

Great job on this chair…luv the fabric! I did some decorating last Fall formy sister and I think your bedspread is the same fabric as the drapes that I put up in her family room…can’t wait to see more!
Blessings,
Linda
I will try to pull together my Goodwill buys later today and post for your party by tomorrow!!
Debbie, you did a a fantastic job on the chair! Love the new look.
This linky party sounds fun! I linked a shelf that I did awhile back. Hope that’s okay. I don’t have any recent projects. I need to get my rear in gear!
what a totally great makeover 😀
I just linked up. This will be fun!
Thanks!!
Love the fabric. It is so great. The whole project turned out beautiful.
love this chair…..ok girl I have now spent and beautiful day in my office because of you…finding garage sale finds and posting about them…..what am I going to do with you!
I think the new chair looks very homey. Nice! BUT done in half hour is super cool!
Debbie, I’m taking a break to link up to your party! Writing a post & taking photos is much more fun than filling holes in molding and touching up paint!
Love your chair and the fabric!
I have to make my grocery shopping list so we can hit the store but I will post something tomorrow. Can it be something I found in the dumpster?
Your chair looks amazing, I love it!!!
It does look like a different chair, and your room is shaping up nicely.
I loooove what you did with the rocker…you ROCK!! just gorgeous! brown and blue are one of my fav color pairs! 🙂
Love your chair makeover ~ the fabric is perfect! Thanks for hosting the party! Have a great weekend. ~Marcy
That rocker turned out awesome. I don’t know where you find the time to do all this stuff. You must be a bundle of energy LOL.
The chair looks great! I love the chocolate brown with blue. What a sweet thing for your husband to do! He totally gets you!
I want something turquoise! Does it go with everything. I’m think I’ll try my dining room first. The chair makeover is lovely.
Nice redo – You did a great job.
Hope you are enjoying your weekend.
Great job on the chair! It looks fantastic! Great idea for a link up party too! :o)
It looks so completely different! You did a great job & I love your fabric choice.
Just popped in to see what you are up too. Love the new look in the chair, perfect.
Hope you are having a fantastic weekend,
Kate – T.G.B.
I love the new fabric…
I love the chair and the fabric, lord girl where do you find the energy and the time for all you do, It’s crazy your involved in everything and post frequently! I’m going to go now and take a nap for you!
Carol
That is a ‘great’ transformation. Took that chair from drabe to WOW! So many ideas you give us all. Thanks! Hope you’re having an awesome weekend, Debbie!
HUG,
Coreen
What a great chair…LOVE that fabric! I linked up (it is a post from a few weeks ago…hope that’s OK!) Cannot wait to see the lamp. I adore shabby chic…hubby hates it…therefore we don’t have it. I need to go back to wife school.
You have certainly transformed that chair, looks very inviting. I am relatively new to blogging and although I comment on other bloggers post and post my own. I never participate in give aways or link up, but this one hit home as it is one of the things I have enjoyed apart from my work and dressmaking. See you soon
Such a clever and creative girl. My heart is going pitty pat.
Hi Debbie, What a fun party idea! I would have loved to join in but I only recently bought something from GW and SA two days ago. My first big score, yay! I never tag sale and I really have been missing out when I see all the great bargains everyone gets while out on a hunt. I will definitely link up next week. Your chair came out fabulous; it looks like it was professional refinished, great job, girl!! Thanks for visiting and leaving your kind comment. Best wishes on your new party, it will be a hit for sure, I love your idea! Rock on!
Hugz,
Kim
Okay Debbie!! It took me a little time but I finally got my bargain post together!! Thanks for hosting! You did a great job with your first party!
You are my first linky party! Thanks for showing me how…are you proud of me?
Great find and beautiful transformation, Debbie!…Christine
Hi Debbie!
that rocker was a great find and the redo is fantastic! Way to go.
I’m not good at transforming things, but I did do a post about some yard sale & craft fair finds on my blog. http://therantingsofadramaqueensmum.blogspot.com
Hi Debbie,
This is my 1st time joining your party. Love the rocking chair transformation. Great choice of fabric too. 🙂
Crystal
Such a cute chair! Sorry I can’t link to your party since my candlesticks are from menards (like lowes). Maybe next week I can link.
You have got great style! So jealous!
I absolutely love the chair re-do! Thanks so much for stopping by my blog… following you now! 😉
Hi Debbie,
I got a little carried away and posted two different things on your linky party! Hope you don’t mind! Your chair looks awesome! Thanks for hosting a great party!
So chic! I love this darling rocking chair and the fabric is beautiful! It looks perfect in it’s new home!
Have a wonderful Sunday evening!
Cathy
Thanks Debbie, for visiting and for your nice comments!
PS: I wish that I looked like Frenchy!!
I always like peaking inside your home Debbie. I absolutely love what you did to that chair. The coffee color did the trick and worked great with the fabric you picked out. I can’t wait to see the lamp. Hey, what an unusual colorful bed spread you have too…okay, I look at everything.
