I was contacted by One Kings Lane and asked if I would write a post about one of my favorite chairs – What Is My Chair Crush? Mine happens to be a really neat chair I found in our local Restore that cost about $20.
When I saw the chair I immediately imagined it in an old French farmhouse, sitting in a big kitchen next to one of those huge fireplaces with a roaring fire (I have quite the imagination!)
I decided to give it a wash in Annie Sloan’s Old Ochre and it really brought out the details.Here you can see it in my living room (My Living Room and a Cost Breakdown).
So, there it sat in my living room with my thinking how french it was until my mother spotted this book at her local secondhand book store – Mexican Style by Peter Aprahamian. It’s a wonderful book with great pictures but the reason she bought it for me is on page 113 –
Can you believe it? My chair is Mexican! Check out these great chairs over on One Kings Lane (link here) and get some inspiration for your chair crush!

Since I’m a Spanish teacher, have traveled in Mexico and Spain, I recognized the style and ‘wondered……’ ; pretty cool~

The chair is fantastic and I loved how it looks now that you painted it. The beautiful details are so much more noticeable now.
