Hello Everyone!
I just wanted to share a few pictures of my chair that I had recovered this summer.
In the picture below you can see what it used to look like.
The green chair in the corner~
The green chair in the corner~
I used to keep it wrapped with an antique sheet.
I had it recovered in one of my antique hemp linen sheets.
I really like how it turned out.
On another note....
I purchased some Florabella actions this last week!
Now I know what I have been missing out on all this time!
I used actions on all of the pictures in this post.
You can see both of these pictures have slightly different actions applied to them.
I can't wait to show you what a difference they made on some pictures I took of my nephew's wedding.
I was so disappointed in how my pictures of the wedding turned out.
However I was able to salvage a few of my pictures with the Florabella Actions.
They are well worth the investment!
Hope you all have a great weekend!
Take Care,
Maria

The chair is gorgeous, the grainsack you put on it is perfect. What color is the frame on the mirror, if you don't mind my asking? I have a filing cabinet I would love to paint that color. I'm going to check out the photography app, it looks like it really makes a difference in the photo's which are already fantastic. I love all your pics. Blessings.
Your chair turned out lovely. The fabric is just perfect!

Maria, your chair turned out beautiful!! Your antique linen looks so soft to the touch... just gorgeous!!!
I have a couple of white chippy pained metal outdoor chairs that I recently bought. I want to replace the seats with some of the grain sacks I told you about, but I'm nervous. I've never done it before, and I don't want to ruin my grain sacks.:{ I love the look though, so I'm gonna go for it! :)

Hey Maria! I love how your chair turned out, which is funny since I thought if you never changed it, I loved how it looked before LOL...That is so cool you are using the Florabella Actions, I love how pictures look with it and hope to learn how to use it someday...all in all, fabulous as usual. PS - I love the big light blue mirror behind it too - you really have the touch.
Have a great weekend.

The chair looks great. I guess I need to purchase photoshop first.
Love the chair makeover. The hemp material was a good choice, also really like that pink cushion.
Love it, Maria... it's beautiful.

Love the chair...it makes a gorgeous blog header. My hubby got me photoshop this summer and I still haven't taken the time to figure out how to use it. I don't even know what 'actions' are. But I like that name 'flora bella'.

Maria your chair islovely! I know how it is to have a cover draped over a chair because you like the chair but not so much the upholstery! Please come by my blog and enter my giveaway for a copy of The French Inspired Home. Now I know you are over the moon about being in Fifi's new book (which I preordered) but this book has lovely frenchy images too!

Happy new year. I saw this image on interest today and repined it. I was not in the blogging world in 2010 when you posted this. But when I looked at it more closely I thought, that is Maria's pillow. And so it is. I think this is my favorite of any of your posts! I just love it! I wish you and your family a happy, healthy, and prosperous 2012.

I do trust all the ideas you've offered for your post. They're very convincing and will definitely work. Still, the posts are very brief for newbies. May just you please prolong them a little from subsequent time? Thank you for the post.
