Before & After: Chair for Bargain Bash

Still in High Point but I wanted to share a quick B&A.  A few weeks ago the Junior League of Birmingham asked if I would give a donated piece of furniture a makeover to be auctioned off at their Bargain Bash for charity.  Of course I said yes!  So this was the piece I chose...

Maybe it was the cane (because I love LOVE cane), maybe it was the incredible detailing all over or maybe it is because I have a chair obsession appreciation but for whatever reason it spoke to me.  Some progress shots here and here.  And here it is ready to find a new owner...
 The linen used for the cushion is absolutely divine.  While it reads blue upon closer look you can see it is so much more intricate than just a plain solid.  
I decided to keep it simple and pretty rather than loud and fun.  I was torn, but since it is being auctioned off for a good cause I wanted it to appeal to large audience.  
The finish is a Bray; really could go with so many color schemes.  It could also fit in so many different types of rooms/spaces.
 One from behind as well...
 This beauty will be auctioned off this Thursday night at Bargain Bash, part of the Bargain Carousel.  For information please visit here.  Hope to see you there!

I love the color combo! If you were to use a throw pillow for a pop of color on the chair, what color would you use?
