Several weeks (or was it months?) ago my husband and I were at an antique shop looking for inspiration (for photo shoots, of course). I was hoping to find a charming old chair. We were about to leave the place (A Street Antiques... thanks again Kevin!) when a woman who had overheard us on the prowl for a cute chair pointed out this one.

The clincher? I had been planning to paint whatever we found red... and this one just so happened to already be that color. The bonus? It's already sporting the worn and weathered look. :)
