Take a seat
How chic and fun are these chairs that I found while at Brooklyn Flea!
First meet Fruit Salad:
She was my favorite. Orange gets me everytime!
She also comes in pink. Pictured below is Tootsie:
If bold color is not your thing they have London Town:
If color is totally your thing then they have the Joker:
I would love to take credit for all of those creative names especially tootsie, but they were given by their creators the lovely ladies over at The Divine Chair Company.
They were such a pop of fun while walking around the flea market and totally stopped me dead in my tracks. Of course I decided to be super shy and merely grabbed a business card and ran away so I have no idea what the price range is for them.
Regardless they are great shots of inspiration for what you can do if your not afraid of a little paint and color. Sometimes all it takes is a $20 Craigslist find and you can do the same.

My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.
On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
OMG, I LOVE those chairs….I think you just found my next project!! I might have to do something orange, its a sweet spot of mine too 🙂
Thanks for the linky- you are the best! xoxo- have a good weekend!
I wish I lived closer, I would def. head to the Brooklyn Flea Market. Have a great weekend. Enjoy Julie and Julia, if you see the movie!!
Best,

how cool are those!? my mom is so good at doing stuff like that…she's been making shabby chic dog beds and selling on etsy! 😀 these are so cute. i want to attempt a reupholster something! all i've done is make a headboard.
Those are fabulous! I love Ging Gang Goolie on their gallery page.
Oh, those are stunning! Have a great weekend. xx blair
oh, I want the pink.
I'm a chair-aholic. Can't resist this preferred seating. Are these vintage or new? So fun, the names and style! -s
How cute – both the chairs and the names. And hey, I didn't know you were a fan of orange. 🙂 Yay! Orange is my favorite!
Enjoy your weekend! xoxo, ALEK
I love chairs…I love benches, chairs, stools, bar stools, basically anything you can sit on. I find myself becoming a bit addicted to them. Maybe I will try to be as brave as you and refinish one, I mean if I put $20 into it, it wouldn't be a total loss if I mess it up, who knows, maybe I will be a master at it.
Chair shopping it is!
great idea…I've seen some great ones at junk shops along my commute, I should try one. The nailhead trim is a great detail.
That first chair is just so perfect. I love it!!
gorgeous chairs! i could see the joker sitting in my living room…just a little added color!
Those are terrific! I wish I knew how to reupholster chairs and such!
what awesome chairs. I love the damask one.
Oh these are great. You made me laugh at the shy comment, I get like that too!
that last (striped) chair is amazing!
