Early 20th Century Antique French Carved Cane Seat Side Chairs- a Pair

Christmas decorating ideas often entail a project, and this wonderful pair of early 20th century antique French carved cane seat side chairs are sitting pretty ready to be purchased, primed, and painted in Modern Masters pale gold metallic interior paint.

Wait a minute.

Aren’t you the one who preaches against painting antique furniture?

On the whole I am, however, in certain decorating situations and with certain pieces, a coat or two of matte metallic in a designer color is pure paint project perfection.

Hanging a wreath(s) or greenery bunches from the top of a door (armoire, cabinet, exterior) with ribbon adds a custom touch to your holiday decorating presentation.

The wider the ribbon the better, so I like to use a ribbon that is at least 2½” wide.

wide red velvet ribbon

Determine the placement of where you want the wreath to hang on the door.  Measure the distance from the top of the wreath to the the top of the door.

Double that measurement and add three inches to it.  This is the length in inches to cut the ribbon.

Loop the ribbon under the wreath’s center, bring up the ends to meet, and position over the flat top of the door.

Press a flat head thumbtack into the center of the ribbon to secure.

You’ll need a small round Styrofoam ball and a strand of vintage or vintage style big bulb Christmas lights.

To make the centerpiece cut off the bottom of the Styrofoam ball so it will sit properly.

Use a hot glue gun to attach the Christmas lights to the top and sides of the ball.

Be very careful handling the hot glue gun and the glass bulbs.
