Pink Saturday

January 23, 2010 at 1:05 am by Claudia

Hello, everyone – Happy Pink Saturday! As always, please stop by and visit our hostess, Beverly, for a list of everyone participating.

Today I am sharing a chair that I won on eBay. It’s for my dollhouse. It’s pink, of course!

This is how it looked when I received it. Cute, but since I am going for a shabby country chic look, I have a change in mind.

I just had to ‘shabbify’ this sweet chair – there, that’s better!


Here it is with the coffee table I previously transformed. This is such fun – and much faster than painting the adult-sized furniture in my house!

Have a wonderful Saturday!

    It’s so pretty, and your dollhouse is just coming along beautifully. Gosh, at first I thought it was a full sized chair! I do like the white legs to match the sweet table. Very nice. I have just finished reading every post..what a pleasure.

    Oh wow, that is terrific! I thought it was a regular chair, at first. I would love to have one just like that for my home. Don’t I wish I could create and decorate with the speed it takes to do miniatures!
    Happy Pink Saturday!

    Claudia, you are gonna laugh at me, but I thought that was a full size chair instead of a doll chair and loved it for you, too! LOL! It looks adorable, and the white makes the fabric pop. Love the table, too. Your doll house is going to be adorable. Love it much and want to move in!

    Happy Pink Saturday…

    I LOVE what you did with that office chair! I need to do that to a couple of really ugly ones I use in my work room….I bought them at the Salvation Army years ago. I love them cuz they’re really old and have real metal bases, BUT the upholstery is very bad!

    I hope your Pink Sat was great and your week even better! L, Dana
