French Parlour Chairs

Here are two magnificent French Parlour Chairs. They have been newly reupholstered in stunning ivory damask silk fabric and fairly shine with perfection. The ornate wooden edges have no hint of scrapes or scratches, and if they didn't look so Old World glamorous, no one would ever know they are nearly antiques. They would be stunning in a living room, bedroom, or of course, a parlour room (if you are lucky enough to have one).

Price $500 for both chairs - SOLD

Welcome to French Grey Cottage!

I absolutely adore roaming flea markets, yard sales and of course, Craigslist, looking for that hidden treasure that I can take home with me and revamp into something new and wonderful. I give furniture what I refer to as the French Grey treatment. I've spent hours upon hours learning various painting, antiquing, distressing and glazing techniques so that I can turn a ho hum piece of furniture into something stunning.

In this blog I will share with you my work, from the process I go through to the finished product. The majority of the furniture I'll be posting will be for sale, so you'll have the opportunity to actually own that perfect piece of French inspired furniture.

I hope you enjoy your stay here at the French Grey Cottage!
