The new old chair and a cake....

She got a coat of primer and a coat of semi-gloss white, and

then a punch of color on her seat with laminated fabric, Summer Totem,
by Anna Maria Horner.

 Here's the back.  I love the curvyness of this chair.  

It cradles your back when you sit in it.

Love, love, love.

And now for another summer love...
