vintage iron chair

This was just one of many awesome garage sale scores from over the weekend.  I initially bought it to resell, but after getting it home I decided to loved it too much to give it up.  So it became a birthday treat for myself.  :)

I love all of the curves in this vintage iron chair!

I think it's suppose to be an outdoor chair, but it looks lovely in our entryway next to the counsel table.  (Please don't judge our lack of baseboards.. our home is very much a work in progress.  :) )

I want to make a little pillow for this chair, but in the meantime this little guy off of guest bedroom bed will do.

vintage ironstone obsession

Yeah, I think I'm officially obsessed with vintage ironstone.  Swoon.  I love the classic white pieces but also adore the blue transferware.

Here are just a few of my favorite pieces from my ever growing collection..

I hope to incorporate more of my collection throughout my house.  I'm inspired by these gorgeous pictures.

Do you love ironstone?  How do you display your collection?  Comments and suggestions are very appreciated! :)

my finished ladder back chairs

So I didn't do a whole lot with these chairs other than clean them up and reupholster the seats.  I'm waiting until we find our whole dinning room set before staining them, so everything can be stained together.

I upholstered the chairs in Waverly Parterre in Walnut.  I like how the curves in the fabric play off of the curves in the back of the chair.
