I was walking down the street
when I happened to meet
a sad looking chair
that gave me a stare.
It was getting dark
and the weather was bad,
I couldn't just leave him
looking so sad.
The chair was broken
and brown, it is true,
but I had paint
and a hammer and glue.
I told him of all
the places we'd go
once he was fixed
and got back his glow.
I promised to
fold him into the car
and take him advneturing
near and far.
The chair liked my plan
and wanted out of the weather,
so I picked him up
and we went home together.

Featured: Two coats of paint
and an embroidered seat
gave my poor chair
a new lease on life.

ReplyDeleteThat’s how you make a house a home, love your chair!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lucky chair

Ready to take him in hand
Painting him till he's no longer bland
Thanks for the smile, dear Brenda.
DeleteLovely chair you made !!
ReplyDeleteAmalia!
ReplyDeleteThe chair was lucky to be found and transformed by a talented fairy
The ballet pink is beautiful and the embroidery is genius. I like how one part has turquoise floss. And of course, I like the story/poem that goes with it. So it's a folding chair that can travel? That's so neat!
ReplyDeleteOh Amalia! You transformed this sweet little chair...I love it!
ReplyDeleteOh how pretty you little chair looks, Amalia. The paint colour is dreamy and the transformation of the seat with your exquisite embroidery is magical. Drab brown really should not be seen, should it.....well at least, not in little chairs. Sweet, sweet little chair and even sweeter little poem.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful chair and beautiful poem.
ReplyDeleteI love this new life you've given this chair! Delightful poem, too, as ever.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty!!! You've chosen the right paint and I'm found of the seating!
ReplyDeleteSister mine:) The chair looks gorgeous and the poem's lovely XXX Avital
ReplyDeleteWonderful! My husband often finds things when he is out and brings them home to me. I have a small table and chair on my balcony that I've yet to revamp. He also brought home a large basket that now sits in my bedroom holding yarn. And there's been many more things. :) It's amazing the things people throw out.
ReplyDeleteDarling transformation, Amalia. Your poems always make me smile. Thank you! xo ♥
ReplyDeleteA wonderful chair and a story of words. Jo x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful color and I love the things sitting on the chair, too! You have such a wonderful way with words!
ReplyDeleteFantastic! It must have been somewhat hypnotizing, stitching that cushion, but it pairs perfectly with your radiant chair.
ReplyDeleteIt was indeed an easy stitch and complete done while watching The Crown on TV :-)
DeleteRescuing old furniture is so fun and to see the transformation is magic! Love the color you chose.
ReplyDeleteI like the color you chose. I have a chair that my parents got for a $1.00 .. it is waiting for me to give it a new color and seat too.
ReplyDeleteMine has waited for a few weeks as well, if I'm honest :-)
DeleteBeautiful chair, Amalia. I love the great transformation! And the poem is great! Kisses, my friend.
ReplyDeleteIt looks wonderful, you did a beautiful job on the seat, the embroidery looks great and love the paint color, how lucky that chair was that you went for a walk :)
ReplyDeletePretty in Pink!! You did a wonderful job. Lucky chair, talented you!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful is the chair in the new outfit. What a beautiful embroidery adorns this charming chair .Of course I am very pleased about your enchanting poem ! Happy Easter to you .

ReplyDeleteYour chair is beautiful, I love the color and also the crochet. Congratulations
ReplyDeleteLove your newly dressed little chair, it is adorable.
ReplyDeleteThe beautiful handmade seat made all the difference! How beautiful!
ReplyDeleteA rescued chair ... for your lair.
ReplyDeleteYou have given me an idea for a rocker I have that has no seat! I think an embroidered cushion would look quite neat! Making the rocker quite complete. Sweet ;)
Love what you did with your chair, and when I looked closely I could see its tiny smile of contentment.
Have a great week Amalia!

Thanks Barbara! I love reading the comments myself, people are amazingly generous.
DeleteNice!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet poem. Very pretty shade of pink and that seat is just amazing!! What a wonderful transformation.
ReplyDeleteThat is a fabulous makeover for an old chair - one would never know 'he' had been broken and abandoned once upon a time. As usual, your verse to tell the story is delightful.
ReplyDeleteI came to your page today in relation to a rebirth of a different sort - to wish you HAPPY EASTER!
Happy days indeed. That is a great project your chair looks wonderful. love the transformation. You are clever!
