before and after: kitchen chair
Snow days rock. Especially when you actually have all of the supplies necessary to complete a decorating project start to finish without leaving the house!
I’ve had an ongoing project to paint all of my mismatched dining chairs the same shade of green (the green that I used on my fireplace). Yesterday I tackled this $10 beauty from a garage sale.
This chair required a quick bit of sanding, 3 coats of paint, and a easy recover of the seat.
Get a look at all of the old layers of fabric! Yowser!
The fabric I used is actually a piece of the bag that my old Anthropologie bedspread was packaged in. I had been saving the big bag for just such a project.
A few staples from my trusty staple gun, a few screws, and viola! Instant pretty chair makeover!
I’m kind of in love with this little makeover!
It’s perfect! I love that green. I think we could end up with the same exact house one of these days because I love everything you put in yours! Your birdcage shower curtain? It was on my ‘to buy’ list for the studio but I waited too long and they sold out.
Rachel! Thanks so much for the compliment! Means the world coming from you! Boo that you could not get a hold of that birdcage curtain!
OMG that chair is so stinkin cute! I’m new to your blog and I’m already hooked! Love it!
