"Rattan" a new favorite of mine!!

For several months now, I have been on the lookout for "rattan" chair's...One like this.

Ballard Designs

Actually, I have been on the lookout for "rattan" anything! Tables, chairs, frames and even bar stools.

Several weeks ago, I found a rattan chair, similar to the one in the Ballard's Catalog for only $12, at my local thrift store....BTW, the Ballard's one is $279......I almost screamed with excitement.....Needless to say I scooped it up, paid my $12 + tax and headed for the door!

The chair was in really great shape but the brown fabric had to go.....I added new fabric for the cushion

using some leftover drop cloth from previous projects. Here she sits, "waiting", to see if I get the guts up to paint her.......Any opinions, or experience on painting rattan?...I'm thinking it may not be the easiest project! 

I have several more "rattan" pieces I have picked up.....I'll give you a sneak peek...

Bar stools....$3.99 each

another chair $2.50

Can't wait to show you how they turned out...Stay tuned and thanks for coming by!
