Cozy Holiday Sale at my favorite downtown shop!

With the hustle and bustle of the Holiday season here, I wanted to share this event at my favorite local store downtown Wichita Falls, TX. Alley Cat is downtown Wichita Falls, TX and it is an awesome store... my favorite place to go in Wichita Falls to find treasures!

In fact, the decor of the store tends to remind me of Anthropologie and for those who know Anthropologie, their prices are quite high! Alley Cat is very reasonably priced and you can find one-of-a-kind items! And even better, they are having a Holiday event this weekend that I figured I would share with everyone as it is the season of giving! Here's a link to their event~https://www.facebook.com/events/288842887820462/


 I visit this store quite often and have found some awesome furniture here, so who knows... you may just see me there too!!! I just figured I'd share one of the best kept secrets of Wichita Falls, TX with all of you!

Upholstery Adventure

About two months ago I was at my favorite little shop and in the back corner noticed some gorgeous French chair frames that I just had to have! The shop owner said that somebody had found these chairs in pieces in a box on the side of the road! She and her husband reassembled them. I bought two chairs that were literally raw wood (no paint, stain, etc) and just the chair frame (no cushion, no cushion base). I knew there would be some work to get them into condition worthy of use, but as with anything else, I saw this as a challenge I would conquer!

The first step was having a friend's husband cut out a wood base for my cushion area for each chair! From there I used foam, batting and gorgeous cream and tan striped silk in combination with a trusty staple gun and I started upholstering!!
I love the end result! It's so luxurious and elegant! My next step is create a back to the chair and upholster that with the same material! I love that this chair went from being just trash on the side of the road to an elegant treasure at my dining table! It's amazing what a little tlc can do!

If you find yourself with a chair that you'd like refinished and reupholstered do not hesitate to ask! We'd be glad to transform your chair into an elegant treasure at your table!
